Possible autobiography reads like a resume and I do not believe the subject meets notability guidelines. I did not tag for A7 because I think the list of works/projects could be construed as asserting notability, but I think the notability still falls short.

Comment - It has also been created here at Gilbert B. Geagea where I tagged it for notability and references. I think it probably fails wp:gng Theroadislong (talk) 09:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected that to the article being discussed here. My thought was that if this is kept, it might be a valid redirect. If not, then it'll probably be deleted with this article at that point in time.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was unable to find anything to show that Gegea's contributions are ultimately notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. He seems to have done quite a bit, but just existing as an active director or cinematographer isn't enough to pass notability guidelines. I don't see where he's been the focus of any news articles or the like. It's possible that there are sources in another language and if so, I'm willing to take those in consideration. I just feel that this is another case where we have someone that works in the background in roles that although important, doesn't attract any attention from reliable sources. He's just your run of the mill director. I have no issue with Geagea userfying a copy of his article, but I do think that it'd be in his best interest if he were to work with someone in one of the WikiProjects to eliminate any conflict of interest and to ensure that the article passes notability guidelines.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:14, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article doesnt include any independent sources that comment on this person. My quick search on Google shows nothing but facebook & youtube presence. --Noleander (talk) 12:07, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
