[edit] Dave and Rich Christiano

Tagged for speedy as non-notable people, however, the article does make a claim to notability and cites sources. Strictly a procedural nomination, I have no opinion either way. Keilana|Parlez ici 05:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


Keep This article is about notable film makers. The article may need to be improved. But it should not be deleted. The Christianos have made a number of films and a TV series, which have articles in Wikipedia. This is a notable topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JBFrenchhorn (talk • contribs) 21:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Some of the films by these people have articles, and I recommend that they should be put up for AfD as well with the possible exception of Time Changer and I don't know wether this is vandalism, but this is what it says on the Late One Night article under reception: "Everbody on Planet Earth thnks that Late One Night has a shooger booger rating of excellent and the entire population of this planet give the movie a rating of 'WTF~?!'. At 540 minutes, Late One Night is the perfect laugh for ROFLCOPTERS, banana hammocks, or one-on-one massages.", these are certainly not notable filmmakers and they fail general notability guidelines.--The Dominator (talk) 05:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Time Changer is, as you said, a notable film. This article is about the people who directed and produced that film. The information you mentioned in the Late One Night article was, as you suspected, vandalism. The vandalism all occurred in the last two or three weeks. I just replaced it with content from an older version of the article. Please take another look at that article and re-consider your opinion on this one. Thanks!

I'm still not convinced, Time Changer is barely notable and just because one of their films is notable doesn't make the makers notable, and for vandalism to stay in an article a week is also very strange. I still think they fail general notability guidelines as they haven't recieved coverag in reliable secondary sources. This article is sort of tough but I'm still inclined to deleting.--The Dominator (talk) 14:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Delete - blatantly fails notability standards; the "sources" are grossly inadequate, the article is filled with unsupported allegations of fame (it's not like Christian film makers don't get attention in the Christian press). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
