Unsourced BLP, in my opinion it does not pass WP:NOTABILITY did not nominate as speedy WP:A7 to generate debate and give creator some extra time to establish it. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 21:49, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-Subject is not notable and sources provided are self-published. The promotional tone can easily be fixed but I still think it lacks notability. Meatsgains (talk) 03:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article will require significant cleanup, though, but that is no ground for deletion.--Reinoutr (talk) 14:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The coverage found by Reinoutr isn't what I'd call significant (and one isn't even relevant to his being a director). In fact, it's the sort of coverage I'd expect for an unsuccessful director who hasn't yet achieved notability in his career. WP:NACTOR could apply to directors too. It is WP:TOOSOON to have an article on him. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
