Keep per Arxiloxos. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per an incredibly prolific career as director[5] and award wins and nominations[6] that far surpass the instructions of WP:ANYBIO. With respects, a nomination that simply states "fails notability" seems indicative of a lack of due diligence before nominating. What we have here is an article in need of expansion and sourcing, not deletion. Another possible DYK for a 5x + expansion just waiting on the horizon.
