Fails WP:GNG The Banner talk 00:12, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why my article has been nominated for deletion. I have cited my references, and the article is connected to the article Linnea Quigley. I have linked all of the films that have pages; there are three that don't have pages, but they are part of the filmography. The gentleman my article is about has looked over the article and feels it is an accurate representation of his work. I continue to make changes, because I want to keep the article as current as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElmStreetsLastBrat (talk • contribs) 01:31, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Person has won two Emmys. See also WP:BEFORE. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 09:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I lean to keep. Won two Emmys (though in group situations). He has won an award from Fangoria, nominated for 3 Saturn Awards, nominated for 1 Gemini Award, and won a Stiges award according to IMdb see here. IMdb has curated a number of news articles to go through that mention him here. JT_dale^Talk~ 09:42, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Notability threshold reached by length of filmography and number of awards received and nominated. Maybe not extremely notable, but certainly notable enough considering WP:NOTPAPER. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) (User:Wtwilson3) — 15:48, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per meeting WP:ANYBIO. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 01:00, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - His filmography, 2 Emmy Awards, and various other nominations alone should be sufficient enough material to make him noteworthy. He created Slimer for Ghostbusters! Other references to Steve include: Beckson Design Assoc, Makeup Magazine, LA Times, Steve's YouTube Channel Randall William Cook also worked on Ghostbusters, has fewer credits and has a page. Digitizit (talk) 04:10, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Academy award winner and sufficient status in his field to merit encyclopedic biography. Carrite (talk) 20:05, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The article still nearly completely fails WP:RS, so it fails WP:BLP. The Banner talk 21:37, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - @The Banner: Is it that you feel that the guides of WP:ANYBIO can be completely ignored? Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, as WP:ANYBIO is "just" a guideline while WP:BLP is a policy. The Banner talk 12:08, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Interesting position, thank you... however, as no one else here sees it failing WP:BLP, your simply asserting such without expanding on why you think so is not really helpful, specially as enough of the assertions of notability can be properly verified to meet WP:BLP. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.}
Keep. Satisfies WP:GNG. Becky Sayles (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – Of particular interest is this quote: "...if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." From this section. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) (User:Wtwilson3) — 15:24, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request speedy close as keep, as nominator As American subjects are often regarded more notable than non-USA subjects, this discussion is useless. The Banner talk 22:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC) No, this is not a withdrawal.[reply]
