WP:BLP, based entirely on primary and unreliable sources with no indication of reliable source coverage shown, of a film and television scriptwriter. While that would be enough to get him into Wikipedia if the article were sourced properly, it is not a claim of notability that confers an automatic inclusion freebie on an article that's sourced exclusively to his own self-published website, IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes -- a screenwriter has to be the subject of media coverage to earn a Wikipedia article, and does not automatically get one just because he has an IMDb profile. People are also trying to get entirely unsourced claims in here: in particular, there's a hotel which the article was claiming to be named after the subject and his brother, but the "source" for that claim was just a photograph of the hotel, rather than any source which properly verified the claim that he's its namesake — and my removal of that claim from the article, on the grounds that it wasn't sourced properly to stand under WP:BLP, was then reverted by an anonymous IP with a false claim of "vandalism". Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it can be sourced properly. Bearcat (talk) 20:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable person at this point. Only references on the article are from primary sources, and a quick search doesn't show any reliable (as per WP:GNG) to exist. Ajraddatz (Talk) 01:34, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. Judging by the comments the nomination has given, the people "contributing" to this article is trying to advertise or promote this person at best as they can. Promotion and advertising is not for Wikipedia. edtiorEهեইдအ😎 03:40, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
