Subject does not appear to meet the WP:BIO and general WP:NOTABILITY requirements. Vaypertrail (talk) 01:51, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Could find no reliable in-depth coverage. Does not seem to be a notable person warranting an encyclopedia article. - Mr X 02:28, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not meet notability requirements; he possibly could in the future if he plays a more significant role in the future and is covered more widely in independent sources. dci | TALK 03:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'd like some feedback about whether or not the fellow might meet WP:ANYBIO for his Visual Effects Society Award for 'best character animation in a live action motion picture' for his work on creating Gollum in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Yes, we do not have much from which to build a fully comprehensive article, but as his win is verifiable,[1] might we concede that point and allow this to remain and grow over time and through regular editing?

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

Keep per meeting WP:ANYBIO for his Visual Effects Society Award for 'best character animation in a live action motion picture' for his work on creating Gollum in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy. With respects to Sue Rangell and AdventurousSquirrel, a pernom does not address ANYBIO's offering circumstances where the GNG might not be met, yet a person could still be considered notable none-the-less through recognition by his peers.

Keep. With a bit of searching there seems to be a reasonalbe number of mentions about him in international magazines. He seems to be one of the top animators in his field. The article needs more work and references. NealeFamily (talk) 03:05, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable per Schmidt. - Ret.Prof (talk) 18:08, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
