Unreferenced since 2007, and deprodded today, this article does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. I can find no WP:RS indicating notability for Mr. Madsen, and the fact that he has worked as part of a writing team on notable shows is not enough. He has won no major awards and does not appear to be independently notable. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I was the original PRODder, this article fails WP:ARTIST as well as WP:GNG. No sources could be found to establish notability. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) talk 23:40, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He is a writer for television, but has no significant coverage. Assertion of notability is also unclear. --Bejnar (talk) 23:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wow... a prolific fellow... affiliated with so many projects without himself receiving any coverage past Guardian, Los Angeles Times, and TV By The Numbers. What a pity. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:42, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts as well. I'm always annoyed when I come across an article like this, and I think "Oh, this should be easy to source", and then 20 minutes later I've found nothing but passing mentions. I would think that there is something out there, just maybe not online, or buried down in the web search results. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) talk 03:59, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Strange lack of coverage if he really has been involved in this much, but it seems to fail WP:GNG. Alzarian16 (talk) 08:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure there's anything strange about it. IMDB, I remind you, is user generated. Take a look at the LA Times article above, where he's identified as merely a production assistant. As for the Guardian quote, one of my closest friends was a late night talk show writer in LA it's pretty low on the totem pole, notability-wise.
