[edit] Wes Brown (filmmaker)

Wes Brown is related to a number of semi-notable surfing documentary filmmakers, but is not himself notable. Article asserts only one movie and neither that movie, nor this person, are in IMDB. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (people) JRP 06:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment He is on IMDB. The site has errors on his entry though (many dupes). The multiple Wes Browns listed as working on films such as Endless Summer Revisited, Step Into Liquid, and Dust to Glory are the same Wes Brown as discussed here.

I created this because of his notability in continuing the Brown family legacy in making surf movies. Sure he only has the single movie but all filmmakers start with a single movie. I doubt it will be his last.

I have not been given the opportunity to flesh out the article yet is why it is in such a rough state. I had added Wes To his father Dana's entry and it was promptly removed for redirecting to the wrong location (A football player). I created a rough entry for Wes Brown so that link would redirect to the proper person and not be deleted. Now this entry is marked for deletion before I even have a chance to clean it up. I don't take that personal but I do find it rather annoying time is not given to flesh something out before it is judged.

However go ahead and delete it cuz I no longer care and I'm not going to put up a fuss. I now feel I would be better off just merging the three Brown family entry's (Bruce Brown, Dana, Brown, and Wes Brown). --Generalleoff 07:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, Wikipedia is not the IMDB, and I see no need for us to duplicate them. Average Earthman 19:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per averge earthman --Khoikhoi 03:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as mentioned, because of duplication. Generalleoff might need time to do this. ProhibitOnions 12:20, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
