Non-notable director of short film. Article lacks non-trivial support reddogsix (talk) 21:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as WP:TOSOON. He did make a single short film Where Is Najeeb that appears to have gained a lot of attention in reliable sources, which might qualify him for notability under criterion #4 of WP:DIRECTOR, but that criterion requires that his works (plural) or "work" (as in "body of work") has gained significant critical attention, and this is just one short film. I cannot tell from the non-English sources, even when translated, that they qualify as "significant critical attention" or are just reviews by non-notable reviewers. There are Google hits on the name but it's hard to find sources that qualify as reliable and independent. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete one notable short film ~~only body of work~~ is not enough to justify an article as it seems WP:TOOSOON at this time, though hopefully he will qualify a little later in his career Atlantic306 (talk) 02:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't his only body of work, he's made other short films, but that one appears to have garnered some attention. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:16, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
