Run of the mill film editor. Has done nothing of note that would pass WP:GNG or WP:FILMMAKER. Beerest355 Talk 00:20, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep two-time Oscar nominee, and he edited Casablanca, one of the most iconic films of all time. There are several books about the making of Casablanca, there's likely enough material for a bio based on that alone. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am the article's creator. Marks probably passes WP:FILMMAKER. Not a whole lot of biographical sources out there, but he edited over one hundred films and was nominated for two Academy Awards. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 01:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Passing Marks. Two Oscar nominations and a large body of work make up for the lack of media coverage. I'm expanding the woeful filmography section to include such films as The Petrified Forest, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, White Heat, etc. etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:09, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep other than needing more bio to fix the stub issue, notability seems to be valid, passes WP:FILMMAKER criteria #3 and #4 on a number of listed filmography--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 23:38, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep, silly AfD, among other things the subject easily passes WP:ANYBIO#1. Cavarrone 05:24, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I added one book source and the duration of his lifetime convinces me the majority of sources that can improve this are offline. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:25, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- clearly a long and distinguished career. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
