Non-notable individual, nothing found for sourcing in Gnews or Gsearch, appears to be PROMO here. Was also deleted as PROMO back in 2020, not much appears to have changed for notability since then. Oaktree b (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! My name is Liam. I wrote the original article and have written this one as well. I've followed Mehriner's work for some time and believe him eligable for an entry. Note: I have no vested interest or benefits through this. I just like Mehringers work and I'm a big fan of Eyecandy, and feel like people should be able to more easily access who created it since Jacob doesn't do a lot of self promotion. Also I'd love to get into more wiki edits and help. Let me know if you need help with other other wikipedia pages. I'd love to contribute. Thank you sir! LIAFF (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Possibly TOOSOON. I removed a bunch of sources that weren't about him or merely mentions that didn't support the statements. What is left is a substack (not a reliable source), two AdWeek sources that I can't access, and a non-independent one from his college. I don't find other sources.

Delete Article fails GNG as it is. No issue with recreating with better sources, if they exist, but I can't find any easily. SportingFlyer T·C 21:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I left a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Marketing & Advertising about this AfD. I specifically asked for help getting the articles from behind paywalls.--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 01:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Mehringer's personal website says he won multiple Clio Awards including Grand Clios. I don't know if he actually won them personally and got the credit or if he was part of a larger group. If he got official credit, that's big enough to qualify him as notable per WP:ANYBIO. Note that there are hundreds of Clio Awards handed out yearly at different levels: Grand, Gold, Silver, Bronze. I think only the Grand and Gold would count per the criteria:

"The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times"

Keep. Here are 2 refs:

Nudd, Tim (19 April 2023). "'Eyecandy'—inside the new visual library of film techniques for art directors". Ad Age. Retrieved 12 July 2023. (behind a paywall but I was able to read it anyway by using my browser's reader view)
Houck, Colin (10 June 2023). "Level Up Your Video Creativity With This New Website". FStoppers. Retrieved 12 July 2023.

They're substantial enough to establish notability for Eyecandy and, by extension, Jacobi Mehrenger.

I recommend looking briefly at the Eyecandy site to see what the refs are talking about.

Here are two Clios for his Super Bowl ads. As Art Director, he's ranked just under the Creative Director (the top guy on the ad) in the credits:

Michelob Guy
Superior Bowl

It's enjoyable to watch the short clips

Those wouldn't pass WP:NCORP, and notability is not inherited. The FStoppers appears to be written by someone who knows the subject. SportingFlyer T·C 08:43, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
