[edit] Richard Farrell

This seems to be a (very bad spelled) article about a random teacher :S at some high school --SoothingR 18:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn, although he teaches film at Andover High School. Dlyons493 19:33, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable. Rick Farrell did direct a film High on Crack Street about the drug scene in Lowell, MA [1]. This film won a few minor awards, however the film and the awards are non-notable... and therefore so is the director. If this somehow surives AfD, would someone please add a cleanup?--Isotope23 19:46, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Verifiably award-winning film-maker per Isotope23. Just because it's not Hollywood doesn't make it deletable. Sdedeo 00:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not the fact that this is not a "Hollywood" movie that makes it decidedly not notable; it's the fact that the only information available about it on the web is from the website I've listed, where they are trying to market the film. The awards they cite are extremely minor and many are misnamed or were awarded to the broadcaster of this film (HBO) and not the film itself. Notability is purely a judgement call, but based on the research I've done into Mr. Farrell and his film, there is simply not enough to make qualify him as a person of note. Making a documentary that aired on HBO a few times in the mid 90's before fading into obscurity is not enough in my book to establish one's notability.--Isotope23 04:00, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Let's see here: non-notable teacher at a non-notable school makes non-notable film which wins a few non-notable awards. Nope, no encyclopedic value there. / Peter ^Isotalo 01:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
