[edit] Jim Horwitz

Jim Horwitz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable director and writer of one non notable movie (up for deletion as well). None of the 30 Google hit for his name plus the movie[1] indicate any notability. Pages for Jim Horwitz[2] are not all about this Jim Horwitz, it seems. He is a member of the NCS,[3] but his comic "beef-a-lowe" returns no hits at all.[4] So niether his movie nor his comic are notable. Fram 06:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. As with the film's article, unsupported by press or other secondary sources, and no verifiability. Depressingly little to write about this young man too -where he went to high school for one semester, films made an unrelated filmmaker in his county of origin.. WP is not for promotion, nor useless info. MURGH disc. 13:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Disputing Deletion.. - Please note my comments disputing deletion of the film GRODMIN, and the comments of others regarding the prestige of belonging to the NCS and the veting process of having one's cinematic creation listed in the IMDB. In addition, the creation GRODMIN has been worthy of several reviews in the USA and eleswhere. These combined credentials cannot be overlooked when considering deletion. Is Wikipedia turning into a popularity contest? I vote to leave both this listing for Jim Horwitz and his film Grodmin in Wikipedia. 68.72.101.140 19:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC) — 68.72.101.140 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • Comment. That you dispute this is duly noted, but please absorb the fact that IMdb listing is not a magic wand of notability. In this process you don't "vote" or "dispute a deletion" but state your reasoning for why an article should be kept or deleted. Please read in Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Discussion and see that popularity has nothing to do with the policies, but rather that WP cannot be the first or only place to read about a subject.

  • Delete as the person is in no way meeting the notability guideline WP:BIO. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 09:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this person fails the basic encyclopedic inclusion criteria. Mr. Berry 16:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
