Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a film producer, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. The attempted notability claim is a long, long list of awards and nominations, which aren't properly referenced for the purposes of establishing whether they're notability-making awards or not -- that test does not just indiscriminately accept every single film or television award that exists, but looks specifically for top-level awards (Oscar, BAFTA, César, top film festivals on the Cannes-Berlin-TIFF-Sundance tip, etc.) that can be established as significant by referencing the awards to media coverage that treats the awards as news.
But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as the subject's own self-published website about himself, directory entries, streaming copies of his films on Vimeo, Instagram posts and the self-published websites of non-media organizations directly affiliated with the claims, with not even one reliable or WP:GNG-worthy source shown at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
