Edward L. Montoro

This page was created at 04:48, 6 April 2007 and speedy-delete-tagged {{db-attack}} at 06:32, 23 April 2007, but it criticizes him a few times but also contains useful information. Anthony Appleyard 09:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - Montoro was a genuine film director & producer [1], [2], [3] and the lawsuit regarding Great White leading to the bankruptcy of FVI is documented. The only possibly contentious claim is the bit about embezzling money, which I agree needs to go if it can't be sourced, but that's not grounds to delete the article - iridescenti (talk to me!) 09:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As I realized from googling & I queried the speedy when I found it in the list. Anthony Appleyard 09:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the above wasn't a criticism of you but of MER-C for IMO speedying something patently inappropriate for an A6 - iridescenti (talk to me!) 09:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's a notable figure in genre movies, something of a cult figure in fact with lots of independent, verifiable sources discussing him. He did do a runner with the money, there's a good interview with a guy called Jim Bertges who worked with him confirming it here. [[4]]. I can't believe no-one's made a film about him yet actually.
