Contested prod. Movie director with questionable notability. The only reference is IMDB and Google News has nothing about him. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 14:57, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, notability is very weak. As an aside, the article itself seems to be mistitled (appears to be "Pinder" as per IMDB). SMC (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I made a mistake with the director's last name. It should be "Pinder," not "Pinter." Thanks. --Splashen (talk) 18:40, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Julian T. Pinder (Correct name)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Keep. Move article to correct name and expand and source through what is available. While as a documentary filmmaker, his career is short, his work HAS received the requisite coverage under WP:FILMMAKER. A very new article on a fellow who HAS received coverage.[1] The article needs expansion and improvement through regular editing, but not deletion one hour and eleven minutes after its last author edit[2] simply because it is new and had not yet been done.

- Huh? Your link to Google returns only one result, which is a Facebook page. Basically, that's what my own WP:BEFORE search returned as well. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 07:35, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmmm....? Cannot explain the mystery of a broken find sources, but my own search results for "Julian T. Pinder" quickly brought me quite a few sources speaking about he and his arguably notable work Land... Globe and Mail (1) Globe and Mail (2) 24 hours (Slovak language) Exclaim! Calgary Sun Now Toronto Northern Stars and a very nice interview in DocSpace No doubt there are even more with some digging. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:00, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to me the article needs to be flipped. The two works he is credited as having produced" merely show him as an associate producer, a rather minor credit. But Land in particular generated a decent amount of coverage, especially for a social issue documentary. Seems to me what we have here is a notable Canadian documentary filmmaker who has also paid the bills with some production work. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed, and though busy on other things now, I am willing to undergo such regular editing after a presumed keep. In the meantime, I have begun the framework on an associated article on that particular film. See User:MichaelQSchmidt/Land (2010 film). Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:27, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Yes, I just did a basic rewrite. Refs need to be added and the article expanded, of course. The DocSpace interview is indeed vey illuminating, this guy was working with Jennifer Baichwal while in high school for freak's sake. Not bad. He's clearly a notable doc filmmaker, with his directorial debut doc premiering at Hot Docs. It's not the nominator's fault the article title was misspelled, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
