Not notable. Part of a large team who won a notable award - pretty much all the others have been nominated for deletion, and all successfully. Boleyn (talk) 07:49, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article subject meets at the very least the section 4c for having won significant critical attention. (see creative professional under notability) He won a notable award for a notable film with four members of his team. Please give me the notaion where it says an award shared by a five person team does not count toward showing notability. He does not meet WP:ENT since he is not considered an entertainer but a creative professional instead. I do not consider a 5 person team large. I would have contested the others the nom mentoned but did not see them. I read over them and the participation looked very thin. No matter at this time here though.

Delete. He shared a Gemini Award (the Canadian equivalent of the Oscar) for an episode of The Tudors, but that was with eight others, which kind of dilutes it too much IMO. If it was just him, it might have tipped the scales for me. Also, it's not in a major category. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - okay, I began to write "keep", but wanted to get exact wording. For the life of me, I thought that WP:CREATIVE or WP:ENTERTAINER stated that if someone had won a major award, like an Oscar or the Gemini, they were automatically notable. Didn't realize that was only for WP:NMUSIC. Seems a bit disparate to me, but the rules is the rules. With that in mind, if the rules ever change, it could be revived.
