Anton Smit

This article about a screenwriter has only one reference, vprogids.nl. That web site is a cinema database, which lists all of the films he has written, but does not provide any independent significant coverage. This article reads like a resume or filmography, and says nothing else about the subject. Unilaterally sending this article to draft space after six years would be disruptive.

Keep. The corresponding article in the Dutch-language Wikipedia at nl:Anton Smit has some additional references that could be added to the English article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Anton Smit is an important screenwriter and producer with a long track record who contributed to some of the most well known contemporary Dutch movies and TV series. Additionally he was an Academy Award nominee for motion picture 'De Tweeling'. Mill 1 (talk) 05:12, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The citation links in the Dutch article are a bit difficult to navigate (as they don't directly lead to the sources), so I'll list an updated version of them here for the future editors to access:

1. List of recipients of the Golden Calf Award by Netherland Film Festival, in which the subject was shown to have won in 2003 in the Feature Film category along with Hanneke Niens;

2. Oscar Award for 2004 (switch to "Foreign Language Film" category). The subject was not named, but Twin Sisters, a film where he was one of the producers, got nominated;

3. Prix Europa 2006 Awards. The subject was not named. Instead, De Uitverkorene, a film for which he was one of the producers, was awarded Television Programme of the Year;

4. Eye Film Institute Netherland Awards. Again, the subject was not named. Bride Flight, a film where he was one of the producers, was given the 2009 Feature Film Award;

5. His profile in Vpro Cinema.

Honestly I can't really decide on this one. On one hand, he does seem to meet the third criteria of WP:PRODUCER; On the other hand, I did not manage to find any significant coverage that can be use to improve the current article (Unless he is also the sculptor that many news articles talked about).
