[edit] American New Wave, Jon Jackson

Supposedly a new cinematic movement, led by a director with no IMDB credits I can find. The term googles well. The only problem is that critics use it to refer to a movement from decades ago. This article appears to be vanity and nonsense. Fan1967 02:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I'd say "vanity and free PR", my self. --Calton | Talk 02:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• If I may follow Adam, that's a wrap. Get rid of this mess ASAP. -- Kicking222 02:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • But I do give credit to anyone who can put the follwing three names in the same sentence: Kanye West, Wes Anderson, Leroy [sic] Jenkins. -- Kicking222 02:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Leave on the cutting room floor per above. SM247^{My Talk} 03:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO and WP:ORG. I sadly don't have a witty remark to go along with it. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 03:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as above ([1] - "are you sure you make arthouse movies?") --IslaySolomon 03:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The American New Wave of cinema occurred in the 1970s and had nothing to do with the people described in this article. --Metropolitan90 03:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and burn the negatives. I suspect it's a hoax. Kenneth Trufant? Sounds a bit too "Truffaut" (French New Wave director) to me. David L Rattigan 11:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Interestingly, he totally fails google search. There are several hits for an award-winning construction director for a Florida school district of that name [2], but zero involving film in any way. The other name's a little too common to thoroughly search, but I couldn't find anything relevant. Fan1967 14:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Why is there a black box over the woman's head in one of the photos? JChap 20:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Sadly, I fear we'll never know. Fan1967 20:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
