Prod was removed. Subject appears to be a minor filmmaker with at most extremely local impact. No claim to notability is made, fails WP:BIO. Ceethekreator (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it does appear that Allen is a only very local "celebrity". I haven't been able to find coverage of him beyond the San Francisco press, and even that is only 4 or 5 articles in his nearly 20-year career. The closest this article comes to meeting WP:FILMMAKER is a brief mention that Stephanie's Image was nominated for three awards the Milan International Film Festival in 2009. The film did not win at Milan, but apparently won the "Audience Award" at the Washougal International Film Festival. I don't think this adds up to notability.

Delete a non-notable filmmaker. We have lots of articles on filmmakers currently sourced only to IMDb. This is a potential area for a lot of either fixing articles on nominating them for deletion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
