[edit] John Burr

Very questionable assertion of notability. IMDb credits are only two as assistant director. cf. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bruce Wayne Gillies. That it appears he himself created this suggests pure vanity: acceptable if you actually meet WP:BIO. The JPS^{talk to me} 18:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete no sources provided for claims of notability ("acclaimed" - by who?). Thryduulf 21:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: I created this article after multiple requests from viewers of the mentioned films and young researchers seeking a basic background. It should be a valid page pending the adoption of the WP:NOTFILM issue. Furthermore, it may be argued that credit for major roles in feature films on IMDB constitute the subject as one of the "Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers' mentioned in the "notability criteria guidelines"(WP:BIO)". Assertion of notability can be verified through a simple google search; links are available for newspaper articles, film credits, and production company web page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jb4 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 19 September 2006) (UTC)
  • A good test of notability is that someone else should have created the article, rather than the subject. I really don't see how "young researchers" could possibly gain from this. The JPS^{talk to me} 08:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
