I've been looking over this page for a while. It says he won a award-but what award? And seems to just have that one credit listed also. Wgolf (talk) 02:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete superficial article about a non-notable writer. No reference for the 'award winning' claim and the Imdb entry (the only reference) contradicts the article because it says someone else wrote the screenplay for the film The Woodsman. Neiltonks (talk) 12:28, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Look again, Fechter wrote the play, there was a screenwriter on the movie, but the work is notable and it was Fetcher who created it. This may just need sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:58, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

probable keep sources seem to exist [1], [2] Broadway World says he co-wrote screenplay for Woodsman. I continue tho suspect that it just needs sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (voted probable keep above) It really is useful to search a guy with a short page making easily verified claims before iVoting. I have only taken a brief look, but he did co-write a major motion picture and co-win a screen-writing prize for doing so.Even a quick look shows that his plays are produced with some frequency, and I can see that reviews exist. I may or may not get back to working on his page. It still needs a list of his produced work. Links to reviews. And more info about him. But I can see that all of this exists. Articles like this make me wish more writers were willing to /capable of adding sourced information to their own pages, without making inflated, grandiose claims. I'm rambling. Point is, this flys past WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR (prize; writer of a well-known movie; writer of multiple plays that have had multiple productions covered that have been in multiple RS reviews over quite a few years. It is true that when User:Wgolf came to the page, there was no verification visible, and there was hype. But I don't thing this is in a grey area any more.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:46, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep I added some content based on one of E.M.Gregory's links. It could use some more solid references, but I think we've reached notability. LaMona (talk) 16:23, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per others; it meets GNG —Мандичка^YO 😜 16:04, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
