Non-notable individual lacking ghits and Gnews of substance. Emmy is a regional award for 9 minute film. Article "references" are spotty at best. Appears to fail WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 05:20, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

Emmy Award winner.
13 time Telly Award winner.
co-authored best-sellers.
New York Times article on his company and an article in Le Figaro (second largest national newspaper in France).

I did a bit of clean up on the article. I think this was a classic case of a peacock article that was notable but not sourced well and needed significant NPOV trimming. I would say notability had been established under WP:AUTHOR and WP:NACTOR/WP:ENT and the remaining are surmountable problems for a stub/start article. Mkdw ^talk 08:08, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As well as coverage in reliable sources, he appears to pass point 5 of WP:AUTHOR : "The person's work (or works) ... (c) has won significant critical attention." I think an Emmy and numerous Telly awards count as "significant critical attention". --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:37, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I was all set to !vote "Keep" based on the Emmy alone. However, as the nom points out, this is not an Emmy in the sense of the national Emmy awards that we are used to seeing in articles. The director received an "Ohio Valley Regional Emmy Award" for his 7-minute film: see [1]. So it's not an Emmy, it's an emmy. This is an award of such small potatoes (in the big scheme of things; I'm sure Mr. Nanton is justifiably proud) that even IMDB doesn't bother to note it ([2],[3]). Based on this, I'm discounting the "Emmy" as a basis to keep. I have no judgment based on the rest of the factors, so don't actually cast a !vote. TJRC (talk) 00:38, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are three types of Emmy's: Prime-time, Daytime, and Regional. He received a regional Emmy, but still an award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (a presenter of all three). I understood that his Emmy was a regional one, but all the same I think there is certainly a degree of notability about this person. These are one of these AfD's that hangs in the shadow of articles about people with a significant amount of notability. The same policies that protect them will invariable protect other less-known but still notable people. Mkdw ^talk 01:10, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, good deal of coverage amongst secondary sources, plus the notable award recipient status. — Cirt (talk) 21:25, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
