[edit] Kevin foxe
Well, let's see. A self-biography. Does have an IMDB mention, but appears to be an advert overall. Just doesn't qualify as notable. Trafton 10:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment from nominator - I know this guy functioned as an executive producer for the Blair Witch Project, but I don't know much about Hollywood, and I'm not sure if that qualifies him as being significant. --Trafton 10:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Strong if not Speedy Keep. Significant IMDB record, undeniably and significantly associated with major film. [1]. We have gotten to a cultural state where "Gee, I never heard of this" seems to be a good enough excuse to nominate something for deletion, RATHER THAN raising legitimate issues on the talk page first to see if anyone can help improve the article. In this case, the nominator should have said "Gee, I never heard of Kevin Foxe, and I looked in Google and found only n listings for the name, so I wonder if there's a problem here. Then, pop a note on the talk page. "Hey everybody, I don't know much about Hollywood, but I never heard of this guy and had trouble verifying the information. It's probably my own lack of searching skills, so I wonder if anyone can help me out here. Is this article as good as it could be?" Monicasdude 14:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, but the article should be pared down significantly. A link to his IMDb page would be fine, no need to pop his resume onto this article. If we have The Blair Witch Project, then it's reasonable to have an article on this movie's producer. --Deville (Talk) 15:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Speedy keepMove and clean up per below. Notable producer. Feezo (Talk) 15:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)- Move. The Wrong surname case. Notable ( [2] ). Cate 16:54, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Move and cleanup. NTK 20:11, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete -- Has no notability whatsoever on his own, other than ties to BWP, which can certainly have an article covering all the behind the scenes people, but not notable enough for own article. DreamGuy 22:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep after significant cleanup work. My eyes! Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
