Fredric Lean

Google search shows only 11 ghits [1], no significant coverage in secondary or third party reliable sources. Fails WP:BIO. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to verify what's on talk, Fragile (2006 film). I'm still looking to verify the other information. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 20:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For a person who reportedly won a prestigious prize, he is unnotable. Artene50 (talk) 04:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO. Not notable. Also since his "projects" are in development with "Filmedia" and this seems to be the same name as the creator of, and main contributor to the article, simply smells like self-promotion/advertising. Austin46 (talk) 15:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep verified Fragile and the author on IMDB pro, the authority for film industry. Fragile is listed and Fredric Lean has been approved by IMDB. His former name was 'Galfo'. Kind of confusing but the info seems legit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 17.255.240.2 (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you mentioned it, I just checked the article about Fragile (edited - perhaps unsurprisingly - by the editor of the Fredric Lean article, Filmedia), and it looks like this 27 minute short film doesn't meet notability guidelines for films so should probably be up for deletion along with its non-notable writer.

Keep found different articles for Frederic Galfo.( changed his name to Fredric Lean) that's why there are few things about Fredric Lean. I searched under Frederic Galfo and found an article in New York Times [2] and an article in Aint It Cool News [3] I am gonna search for some more . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 17.255.240.2 (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the New York Times 'article' is nothing more than a movie listing. NO one questions his existence, it's notability per WP:BIO _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 04:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When the very first sentence is "Fredric Lean is a new independent French filmmaker who resides in the US", it's going to tell me that the subject would have great difficulty meeting WP:BIO, and if aintitcool.com is the only source being cited regarding whether or not he makes WP:BIO (New York Times is reliable, but the mention there seems trivial in this case). Even if the article is completely rewritten (which would be needed if it's saved), I don't think it merits being kept. Delete. B.Wind (talk) 01:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
