Keep but only just barely. He has had a career in film and there are sources. Fifthavenuebrands (talk) 13:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People are not automatically eligible for Wikipedia articles just because their work exists; they have to show evidence of noteworthy accomplishments to pass WP:CREATIVE, and they have to show some evidence of reliable source coverage in real media to verify it with. But this states nothing that counts as an article-clinching achievement; the only claims here are that he exists, that he won a non-notable award from a minor local-interest organization, and that he was named once in a listicle. And of the eight footnotes, seven are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and the only one that's real media is a dead link from the website of a local radio station covering him in the context of winning that non-notable award. That's not enough coverage to get him over GNG in lieu of actually having to achieve anything significant. Bearcat (talk) 17:38, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Unclaimed (2016 film) per WP:CHEAP. He's not notable as a producer, who are, for the most part Run of the mill. His only claim to fame is connection with the Unclaimed, pardon the pun. Bearian (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that he appeared in that film as an actor is not verified by any of our article about the film, the film's IMDb entry (he's not the same person as either Patrick Gallagher or Patrick Sabongui), or even his IMDb profile as a person (which lists zero acting roles for him at all). So redirecting it to a film that he wasn't verifiably involved in at all is not the appropriate outcome. Bearcat (talk) 00:05, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
