All of the references given here are problematic. The first fails verification; the second is to a college website that does not mention the subject; the third is a dead link; the fourth is to the subject's personal website; the fifth is to IMDb which is not an independent source of information; the sixth is a list of Aegis Award winners, which is not a notable award; the seventh is to a list of Accolade Competition award winners, and the Accolade Competition has already been deleted as a non-notable awards mill; the last reference is to another IMDb piece mentioning his family and interests in hockey. The Aurora Awards are currently under consideration for deletion. There is no citation to the claim of being a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. I was not able to find any non-trivial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. Having received a number of non-notable awards does not confer notability, and the paucity of significant coverage elsewhere does not help either. If he were notable, it shouldn't be so difficult to prove it. So far, this article's citations fail to make the case. "News" and "newspapers" searches get zero hits; Google Books show that he published one book on digital film making, but that is not an independent source. Google scholar likewise turns up nothing. I am more notable than this person. KDS4444 (talk) 07:48, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete at best for now for this one since it's still questionable for needed better improvements, everything else listed, information and IMDb, is all still questionable. SwisterTwister talk 00:30, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Orphan BLP, written mainly by connected contributors including the subject. Almost entirely original research / primary sources. I can't find any significant coverage in reliable sources. Awards don't appear to be notable. -- IamNotU (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
