Autobiography/resume/self-advertisement for an obscure scriptwriter. Orange Mike | Talk 05:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article reads like a resume, lacks references, and needs a total rewrite. However, calling this screenwriter "obscure" is a bit of a stretch, as he has credits on at least three notable Hollywood feature films with major stars, as well as extensive TV work that has been broadcast. Keep if it can be properly referenced. Cullen328 (talk) 05:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - AS per nom. I originally PRODed this. AllI found was the IMDB. It's unfortunately not enough for the Wikipedia. It's strange that there is not more abut him out there, But that's the way it goes.--Kudpung (talk) 07:55, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Here's a reference - Eyewitness: a filmmaker's memoir of the Chicano Movement, Jesús Salvador Treviño, Arte Publico Press, 2001, pages 61 and 92. More references are available at Google Books. Cullen328 (talk) 08:02, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - what an ugly mess, but as a writer for several big Hollywood films, he ranks as a notable writer. A re-write is not a reason to delete. Bearian (talk) 15:28, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
