Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a filmmaker, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. The primary notability claim here is that his films exist, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself in the absence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him in reliable sources -- but the only "reference" actually being used as a proper footnote for any of the body text is simply the exact same article copied and pasted from another wiki (a user-generated source that cannot support notability), and the article otherwise just contextlessly lists a bunch of further sources which are all either short blurbs that don't add up to enough coverage to pass GNG, or glancing namechecks of his existence in articles that aren't otherwise about him, which don't help to establish notability at all either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy deletion has been declined. My new position is delete as I cannot find anything on any of the works this guy has produced, let alone himself. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 19:41, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
