  • Weak delete - the SunDance documentary is the one thing making this "weak". Even so - this would be better on imdb.com. --Action Jackson IV 07:28, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Doesn't really seem notable within the entertainment industry. --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 18:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • KeepHe's notable in the Salt Lake film scene and all of the news articles check out.--67.182.213.82 00:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I wrote the article, so obviously I thought he was noteworthy enough to write an article about. The anonymous guy above is right in that he's notable in the Salt Lake Film Scene, which I'd like to try to document on wikipedia. I worked hard to keep up on all the articles and his forthcoming film, which he's producing that can be seen here. So... There's my defense. And as far as the Sundance stuff, I actually saw the documentary and it's also on the IMDb and all of that info is fairly easy to find on google. Would citing more newspaper articles and other sources make this qualify as more notable? Also, the fact that both he and all of his films are on IMDb denote notabilty to me, their vetting process is quite extensive...--Utahfilmmakers 03:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, it would be a good idea to include links to newspaper articles on him (because of WP:N doubts). Also you should write Keep instead of Don't delete. Mathmo Talk 10:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Okay, most of the sources on there are newspapers and news sites, but I'll see if I can find more. And I'm new to the wikipedia thing, so "keep" and "don't delete" seems tantamount to the same thing to me. I was just following suit with the dude above me.... Also, there have been a lot of recent articles that mention the film he's producing, but not him specifically, are those links worth adding?--Utahfilmmakers 03:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I came to add a few more sources, but it seems as though the dude with no profile and Cool Hand Luke the admin did some of that kind of stuff for me.--Utahfilmmakers 02:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to This Divided State; with only one film that has had only minor success it feels like it is too soon. There are insufficient independent sources. John Vandenberg 06:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
