The result was delete. Seems like nobody here is arguing that the director is notable, even if the film King, Murray may be. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:22, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable person, the coverage about them is limited and falls well short of Wikipedia's notability guidelines and film maker guidelines. Joseph2302 20:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. His film King, Murray won the Critics Award at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival. The film is probably notable, even if the director's not. Pburka (talk) 20:50, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: King, Murray was a Jonathan Gordon's film and was the main director. David Hoffman doesn't get a critics mention, his name just appears on the credits.--Aspro (talk) 17:53, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Cannes website only lists Hoffman as the director. IMDB lists both. Pburka (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and the category is The Cinéfondation Selection consisting of 18 student films. (emphasis mine). [1] Would any one expect an employer/client to be impressed by telling them you once won a prize in 1st Grade ? The article appears to me as simple puffery and an advertorial.--Aspro (talk) 17:22, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I might if I'd won a Cannes Award in first grade. But I'm not arguing to keep his article. I am wondering if we should salvage the description of the film, and perhaps redirect Hoffman's page to his one award-winning film. Pburka (talk) 18:25, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The earliest posts on this article appear to be from a single purpose account user: Krisbeldin. This maybe Kristofer Beldin, a PR Manager (with social media skills according to his resumé).--Aspro (talk) 18:58, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
