[edit] Jeff Small

Jeff Small (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

He may be the COO of Dreamworks Studios, but I can't find a whole lot more than that online. Seems to fail WP:RS and WP:V (that is, I can't verify anything other than the fact that he's COO of Dreamworks). Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 02:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. The creator of the Jeff small page Another user left this comment on my talk page: "Err, oops?  :-) The Jeff small article isn't mine— I just moved the new stub to fix the naming guidelines! — Coren (talk) 02:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)" Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 02:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes, because I'm not the creator!  :-) I just moved the page to fix the name, apparently while you were tagging it up for AfD. I fixed the AfD page and index accordingly (I see you already moved the AfD template itself). — Coren (talk) 02:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, very notable executive of dreamworks and before that at revolution studios.Callelinea 03:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete; notability isn't transitive, but Dreamworks is very notable, and its boss, IMO, does get some notability. Probably not enough for WP:BIO, however. — Coren (talk) 03:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, sufficient coverage of his career in pubs such as Variety. I wouldn't say very notable, and it isn't simply transitive, but COO of one of the largest studios in H'wood is, I think, notable. --Dhartung | Talk 03:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Passes WP:BIO as an important figure in the film industry. Needs expansion, cleanup, etc.-- aBSuRDiST -T J C- 04:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've tried to expand the article -- there just isn't much of anything out there on the 'Net about him. All I can confirm is that he's COO of DreamWorks and nothing else. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I added material to the article yesterday including three other companies for which he has worked. It's a perfectly acceptable stub. Lack of expandability is not a rationale for deletion. --Dhartung | Talk 22:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Perhaps the article should be tagged with {{expert-subject}}, although I think a stub tag covers it.-- aBSuRDiST -T ☺ C- 03:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It's not that we don't know how to find out information on him, it's that a bunch of it is behind paywalls. Don't worry, he'll be written about again in the LAT or wherever.--Dhartung | Talk 18:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
