Previous AfD was closed as "no consensus" after nobody took part except the nominator (Duffbeerforme) and the creator of the article (Ryan Vesey). However, the reasons given then for deletion still apply now. This is an article about someone who made three films when he was a student. (I have searched, and failed to find any record of his ever having had any part in any film-making since then.) There is no evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines, either in the article or anywhere else that I have seen. References in the article are a dead link, a link to a YouTube video, YouTube stats, and a few brief news reports in local media of the "local boy makes a film" kind.

• Delete I think this line from the article sums it up "In addition to making films, Clerc films city council meetings for the City of Windom". That would be a city of less than 5,000. I guess being the city council filmmer for a dinky city is not a default show of not being notable, but when all your films were student films that have no notability combined with this, I think it is a clear indication that Clerc is not yet notable. He may one day actually make a notable film, but not yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:44, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete per Lambert; this is either WP:TOOSOON or a vanity resume. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:02, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
• Delete: Obviously fails the WP:GNG and the WP:FILMMAKER. -- LACaliNYC✉ 22:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
