Keep Nominated for an Academy Award means he's easily notable. Lugnuts (talk) 19:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per meeting WP:ANYBIO... in spades. Two Visual Effects Society Awards nominations and one win. One Satellite Awards nomination. Two Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards nominations. One Online Film Critics Society Awards nomination. One Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards nomination. Eight BAFTA Awards nominations, and one win. Nine Saturn Awards nominations and win. Five Academy Awards nominations and one win. While article will benefit from expansion, we do not delete stubs because they are stubs with a simply claim of WP:JNN. We instead look to see if notability criteria are met and then perhaps tag the article for improvements. And in case we hear arguments here that "some" his repeated shared nominations and wins are non-notable beacuse they were presented to several other involved in that same creative effort, he also has many accolades awarded to him alone. And in the other cases, awards are not all somehow diminshed when shared, as they are awarded to recognize significant achievment, and it only reasonable that awarding agencies present such to all those whose creative efforts are deemed worthy of recognition, even if it means they award the efforts of two or three individuals for those creative efforts.

Speedy keep He already won an Academy Award (plus the awards mentioned by Michael), he is notable enough. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 08:31, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Won an Oscar. Definitely notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 01:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable. The thing about Alan Liefting is that he never searches for sources before he nominates articles for deletion. SL93 (talk) 13:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
