[edit] Richard Booth

Keep. This is not a vanity page; my first film was not self-released, it was distributed through Final Cut Films (a company I happen to own, but nonetheless it is a proper production/distribution company). I own the intellectual copyright to the biography and posted it on IMDb as well as Wikipedia. If you like, I could amend the biography so it's different from the one on IMDb. More information on Final Cut Films' website, [1], and IMDb. Richardbooth

No evidence of notability. Request for evidence of notability had no response except the removal of the potentialvanity template. There are 20,000 Google results but as far as I can tell, none of the first 60 results refer to this person.

• Comment: It looks like someone did at least expand the article after evidence of notability was requested. Is listing of the film in IMDb enough? (I'm unsure of the standard of notability for writers of films.) Crypticfirefly 01:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity entry on a filmmaker with one self-released film.--Calton | Talk 04:59, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment maybe this could be userfied? User:Richardbooth obviously isn't shy about revealing his identity and as it stands his user page is blank. However, one problem with the article is that currently the bulk of its content is a copy and paste from his IMDb bio. --TM ^(talk) 08:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity about a self-released film. If the author doesn't volunteer to have it userfied, then that's tough. -Splash 16:58, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As per nominator. / Peter ^Isotalo 19:32, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

It's a copy of his bio on imdb, both of which were probably submitted by the same person, but imdb claims copyright on everything on their pages, so we can't have it here. I have listed it on copyright problems as appropriate. Zoe 22:16, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
