A first assistant director of TV shows. first assistant director usually doesn't handle the creative process, but does more administrative tasks. I don't think assistant directors are inherently notable and doesn't qualify under WP:FILMMAKER. He did direct ten TV episodes and was a co-writer on six episodes. No independent, reliable sources are available. Prod was contested for unknown reasons. Bgwhite (talk) 00:39, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Individual has been in the business for over 30 years, and has been involved in various notable television and film productions, both writing and directing. Still passes notability guidelines as a filmmaker. Tinton5 (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Doesn't satisfy any part of WP:FILMMAKER and has received only one passing mention. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Neutral. He seems to meet WP:FILMMAKER criterion #3 — which doesn't require that he has had coverage in multiple independent sources, only that the works he played a major role in creating had such coverage. WP:NOTINHERITED says that's a poor argument for keeping an article, however. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    He would certainly meet WP:FILMMAKER if he was the filmaker of these works, or at least if he would had a verifiable creative role on these. Cavarrone (talk) 04:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:FILMMAKER #3 does not require him to be the actual filmmaker, but rather only that he "played a major role in co-creating" the film. A position as assistant director might meet that criterion, but I don't know for sure. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:21, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Fails WP:FILMMAKER, WP:BIO amd WP:GNG. Cavarrone (talk) 04:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Seems like the main reason why Bgwhite nominated the article for deletion is because the subject primarily worked as in assistant director. Granted, Mr. Capps hasn't full on stepped out of assisting to primarily head directing like many other counterparts. Outside of seven or so TV projects that he directed and wrote for, that I felt, was at least notable enough to have an article created for him. Plus, I guess his 30-plus years experience in the industry is not going matter on Wikipedia, either. As the creator of the article, I'm willing to admit that independent coverage on the subject was scarce, but naturally he is not going to get independent coverage until he passes way and his mentioned in a obituary, unfortunately.

  • Mr Capps' years of experience matter little, as Wikipedia is not run under any sort of seniority-based scheme. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 05:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
