fails notability Alan - talk 03:20, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Look at this. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0589106/ Alright then, problem solved. Notability has been proven. Remember the rule is WP:BEFORE. Check for information yourself, with a quick Google news archive search or if the person is in the movie or film business check IMDB BEFORE you nominate something for deletion.

I'm sorry, that couldn't be more wrong. An IMDb does not at all give automatic notability. What's needed is coverage in reliable sources that establishes an actual notability in more than just a trivial mention; I'm pretty sure it's a long-standing consensus that an IMDb alone is not proof of notability. And being in the film business alone is absolutely not a reason by itself either. Maybe you should be the one reading BEFORE, if I may suggest it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Click the link. Does he have over a hundred things listed? Are a lot of those things clearly notable? I wasn't making the case that having an entry made you notable, but instead pointing out when you have done that many notable projects you are notable. Dream Focus 04:52, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has won a directing Emmy and a DGA Award, as well as being nominated on a number of additional occasions[1]; thus notable per WP:ANYBIO.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:41, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Arxiloxos. If someone is a television director and has won a Primetime Emmy (with three other nominations) and a DGA award (and another nomination) for directing, they are most likely notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:24, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Makes NYT which is sufficient. Many many credits listed in NYT, unless it is OR to point this out. Collect (talk) 13:15, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per an incredibly prolific career as director and producer[2] and award wins and nominations[3] that meet WP:ANYBIO. With respects, a nomination that simply states "fails notability" seems indicative of a total lack of due diligence before nominating. The subject's common name aside, what we have here is an article in need of expansion and sourcing, not deletion. I'll be glad to work on it tonight myself, as I see a sweet DYK on the horizon.

Keep: Not a good nomination.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
