The result was delete. Needs to meet both BLP and GNG guidelines, which it does not seem to be able to meet. Sockpuppets/involved people have done more to harm this process than to help (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:24, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article was dePRODded by an anonymous IP after the addition of several sources and some text. I just went through all references one by one and they either are primary, non-independent sources, non-RS sources (WP itself, imdb, blogs), don't mention the article's subject, or (in the case of Vogue) grossly exaggerated. I removed one section, which consisted only of name-dropping (all material can still be seen in the edit history and by using the diff link above). In the end, nothing much remains. In the absence of sources, this fails WP:BIO and WP:V, hence: delete. Guillaume2303 (talk) 13:15, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nom. The sources presented in the article do not satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 13:37, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Neither his creative work nor his role as company president appear to have received more than passing mention. Many of the sources here are not acceptable and don't support the content for which they're referenced, and reliable independent sources are lacking. Google and Google News searches aren't encouraging. 99.156.68.118 (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. — Frankie (talk) 21:03, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep . Jarred Land is incredibly influential and a key people as noted on RED's own Wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Digital_Cinema_Camera_Company . If you follow Guillaume2303 recent admin activity he seems to be deleting other articles relating to Jarred land and RED as what seems to be personal attacks, or perhaps even of anti-competitive nature. One of his attacks on Bambi magazine in which he orchestrated other wiki editors and on it's talk page offered personal gifts to editors and favors for voting with him. this cannot be the way that Wikipedia is run. This has been logged with Ron Jones with Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigfish23 (talk) — Pigfish23 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Comment There seems to be a WP:Walled garden or articles related to Land. Red Digital Cinema Camera Company seems to be another problematic article, replete with references that are to unreliable blogs or don't support the statements that they reference. As I don't know much about cameras and really are getting a bit tired of these meat/sockpuppets that don't know better than coming with ridiculous accusations instead of offering solid policy-based arguments, I don't intend to wade into that one, though. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There have been no personal attacks made against the subject of the article; there have been a plethora of meatpuppets, some of whom have been blocked, who have persistently made the same kind of accusations being made again here. As before, I welcome administrative oversight, and anticipate much the same result. 99.156.68.118 (talk) 03:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I hate to do this, but look at Guillaume2303's history. This Editor must be stopped. Of note, he had a previous account that he freely admits which was deleted and removed for similar biased actions. Look at just this one which was raised to the highest level. Just one example : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Guillaume2303#Bambi_Magazine. this clearly needs to goto admin. Members like this is what scares away support, financial and not, to Wikipedia. The comment above this is clearly them posting as someone else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigfish23 (talk)
  • Delete. Despite several claims by various IPs on this page of the notability of the subject, they have failed to provide any sources except a couple of Wikipedia articles (and remember Wikipedia isn't a WP:RS). --Saddhiyama (talk) 08:37, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:BIO and verifiability concerns. Also, a whole bunch of IP sockpuppet/meatpuppet accounts showing up out of the blue to vote on an AFD is nearly always a sign of spam. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
