Imdb verifies the career, but I do not think the career notable. DGG ( talk ) 18:52, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with DGG. Doesn't seem to meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:BASIC. A related AfD for his wife is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janet Scott-Batchler. I also removed much of the unsourced material. In case anyone wants to see it, here is the version before I did so. Novaseminary (talk) 19:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:AUTHOR: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work ... that has been the subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." -- according to Batman Forever, the film had at least 54 reviews.

Comment I always thought of that as referring to a novelist who had a book turned into a movie, or more on point, a film director who created the film. In this case, this writer was one of three writers of a screenplay. They (obviously) were not the ones who created the character or anything.

Tangential comment I do not believe WP:AUTHOR makes any requirements on how much of a creative work must be purely from the creator's mind rather than incorporated/adapted/portrayed/borrowed from elsewhere. There were plenty of cypresses and sunflowers in Arles before Van Gogh arrived and tried representing them on canvas; history writers get historical information from other sources, rather than directly participating in major world events; and Eddie Adams merely handled a camera, he didn't execute anyone :-) bobrayner (talk) 00:34, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find any significant media notice of him, only mentions as a screenwriter for Batman Forever. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:19, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
