Jake Honig[edit]

This young filmaker might be notable one day but lacks significant coverge today. citation on his student film is commendable but isn't enough to meet WP:BIO or WP:CREATIVE RadioFan (talk) 01:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As A7 decliner. Two independent, non-trivial reliable sources meet WP:GNG. Of all the 18 year olds who've created articles about their accomplishments on Wikipedia, this is the only one that really makes a good case for notability. His film garnered statewide recognition and an award. Oh, and he gets points in my book for not linking to a MySpace or Facebook page, either. ;-) Jclemens (talk) 06:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both because it appears to have WP:CoI and for the reasons listed. Gosox5555 (talk) 14:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
COI is not a reason for deletion, but a reason to seriously consider the need for an NPOV rewrite. Jclemens (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - subject meets the GNG and thus qualifies for inclusion. One of the sources was "dead" so I converted it to a cite news template. The story can still be viewed in Google's cache for now: [1] in case anyone feels the need to verify its authenticity. The film appears to be gaining momentum and is only a month old, so I think a technical qualification under GNG is sufficient for now. "Weak keep" because I wouldn't object to revisiting the subject at a later date, but as it stands now I think technically qualification is sufficient. (P.S. a COI is not a valid reason to delete.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:37, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. A couple of mentions in local news media in connection with a single event is not really enough to confer permanent encyclopedic notability. Hqb (talk) 10:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
