Keep. The COI is pretty obvious, both on this. page and on the film Up to Snuff, (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Up to Snuff), But the thing is, the sources exist for film and filmmaker. Maxey has a track record as a TV producer that has generated some awards, some news coverage. And Up to Snuff has generated feature coverage of Maxey. I added a few recent articles about him making the film to the page. I think it now passes WP:BASIC.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:19, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HEY - article was sourced during discussion. Argument for keeping boils down to :

Up to Snuff - his sole documentary film.
minor coverage of Maxey's role as producer of Up to Snuff in articles about the film
Emmy Award in 2015 for excellence in television production for "American Veterans Center Honors."
a profile in his hometownn newspaper: Valverde, Rochelle (July 6, 2015). "Lawrence native wins Emmy for excellence in TV production". Lawrence Journal-World. [[WP:E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:39, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I count at least 5 WP:RS. Any COI authors doing COI stuff and not meeting Wikipedia COI policies ought to be dealt as per policy; but as far as the article is concerned, it looks good. XavierItzm (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:ANYBIO the subject has an EMMY. Major award makes the subject a a major player. Lubbad85 (☎) 21:05, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - It's a bit of a stretch to say he won an Emmy. His show won a National Capital Chesapeake Bay Emmy, which is for television productions in the Maryland/Virginia/D.C. area. This is officially part of the Emmys, but to say he won an Emmy is misleading. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 21:55, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment An Emmy is exactly that...an Emmy. "Mark Maxey is an Emmy award-winning Executive Producer." There is nothing misleading about that statement. Lubbad85 (☎) 23:35, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My comment was more in response to Major award makes the subject a major player. A NCCB Emmy is NOT a major award, and so therefore does not automatically prove that the subject is notable. I should have made that more clear initially. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 23:54, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep having been inclined to delete i've changed opinion due to the improvement of the article with the addition of multiple reliable sources, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
