This appears to be a combination of two Hugh Taylors. Per resume on http://www.hughtaylorsite.com/, there is no evidence this Taylor is associated with the TV or film industry. The non-entertainment industry individual appears to lack notability per WP:BIO. ttonyb (talk) 14:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - They are actually the same person. See http://www.hughtaylor.com - He worked in the film and TV industry, and continues to do so on small documentary projects, while working in technology and serving on the faculty of UC Berkeley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irvingfeld (talk • contribs) Note: User:Irvingfeld is the author of the article.
Delete on the grounds of non-notability - plus a kind of fishy feeling I get about the article. For example, the article says he is "on the faculty of the University of California’s School of Information and Law School (Boalt Hall,)" but the current faculty profile page for Boalt Hall [1] does not list him and neither does the faculty profile page for UC Berkeley School of Information [2]. The article supplies a link to a UC Boalt page that describes him as a lecturer, but it also mentions an "upcoming" book in 2008, so my hunch is that is an old page and he is no longer with them. One of his books is published by a major publisher, Wylie, but I can't find any reviews or other sources to support WP:AUTHOR. The other is from Lone Eagle Publishing Company which appears to publish mostly directories and catalogs [3]. Clearly some of the information on the page is incorrect or outdated, but even taking it all at face value, it's hard to see what criterion for notability he satisfies. Certainly not WP:AUTHOR or WP:ACADEMIC. --MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. It is not clear to me that all of the information in this article refers to the same person. In particular, http://www.hughtaylor.com/About_Hugh_Taylor.html mentions nothing about the subject's alleged career as a television producer. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
