[edit] Jesse Drew
Barely notable professor, seems to touch more on notable institutions than actually being notable in his own right. MBisanz talk 08:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable professor. However, I would support the creation of Manifestoon, as it appears there are sources available for that. Subject of this article could be listed there. TN‑X-Man 15:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep - Full disclosure: I made the page. It's a stub, and there's more that needs to be added. Give it time. Drew has had his fingers in the pot of multiple media activism projects and has created several notable pieces in the field of video art. He's not documented well online, I'll admit that, but much of this work was done in the 80s and early 90s. But hopefully with this stub up others can contribute - that's what wikipedia is about right? I don't see the harm in keeping it. --Dronthego (talk) 02:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep -- I found more references. The guy merits coverage. Geo Swan (talk) 23:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Jesse Drew, who teaches documentary film at the University of California Davis, argues that documentaries can alter policy and culture. He thinks "Sicko" will amplify the pressure on policymakers to reform health care. "It will open to a mass audience," he said, "and it's not going to be lost on politicians. They know that many of their constituents will see these issues raised and there's going to be a link made that they have to deal with some of these issues.""
