[edit] Jason Steele (2nd nomination)

Jason Steele (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Recreation of previously deleted material - see original discussion. As before, Google search inconclusive, due to somewhat common name. However, using his films as modifiers, search on ("Jason Steele" Spatula) brings back only 75 unique on 152 returns, while ("Jason Steele" Charlie Unicorn) brings back 132 unique on 233. Filmmaker's IMDB listings are mainly related to the Knox films, which have been deleted several times as non-notable. Still no other citations outside of non-notable message boards and blogs, or YouTube. Delete. MikeWazowski 06:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete again. Anyone can be a 'filmmaker' these days with YouTube and a camcorder. Would support G4. I've just speedied his mate's article: Robert benfer. Comments on the talk page by the creator about the page being recreated because he reckons the subject "deserves some press" demonstrates a WP:COI. The JPS^{talk to me} 15:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment He seems to just make notability if the assertions in the article can be documented by independent sources, especially the film award. He appears to be a serious filmaker and more than a guy with a camcorder and Youtube distribution. I looked through Google and the name is common. Even adding "film" to his name brings back several others by the same name, so it is hard to use this rule of thumb. Unless the author(s) can produce meaningful source material this should fail. --Kevin Murray 19:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, anybody can be a film maker but not everybody wins a prize. If somebody convinces me that the Canadian prize is not-notable I'll reconsider Alf photoman 00:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and The JPS. Concur with Kevin Murray that notability may be established if independent verification of the award were to be produced. Lacking such evidence, though, renders this person non-notable. --ElKevbo 03:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and possibly salt until independent, reliable sources can be produced. If the award were sourced to other than his own web site it would be close, but it's not and a quick search doesn't reveal an obvious source or much in the way of non-trivial coverage of the fesitval itself.
