Self promotion article that fails WP:GNG. References 1, 3, and 10 are from IMDB. References 5, 8, 9, and 11 are from his Facebook page. References 2, 4, and 7 are YouTube videos and Reference 12 is an article by New York Media that's about him allegedly being victimized by Kevin Spacey. Article was created by the subject himself under the name Tonymontana1975. Mysticair667537 (talk) 04:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER in my opinion. Apparently, he has "accused Kevin Spacey of sexual assault" and this news has been covered more or less (e.g. on abc). That being said, I think there has not been such significant coverage around him. On a side note, User:Tonymontana1975 didn't create this article (although they have made several edits).

Keep - while citations are iffy, he does seem notable as an individual in entertainment. Should find new citations for some, but see no reason why should be deleted outright. He seems quite notable, just citations may not be great at the moment.--Gim0031 (talk) 10:05, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - just like Gim0031 said, he appears to be a notable entertainment figure, and there are several other reputable citation sources that may be used in the article, rather than some of the ones that are currently in use. Philphleg (talk) 10:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
keep - notable for good (film-making) and bad (kevin spacey connection) reasons. no doubt plenty of independent sources exsit not the least of which is a few from renowned moviegoer roger ebert.Grmike (talk) 14:38, 29 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]
