[edit] Michael Nash

Michael Nash (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

In wikifying the article, I found multiple claims that could not be backed up by outside sources: (1) a grand jury award from the International Lisbon Film Festival, not found in a search of recent years' awards at indielisboa.com (e.g. 2007); (2) "The 2007 Global Innovation Award", claimed to be shared with several highly notable people, not found by Google, (3) mention in a book, supposedly forthcoming in 2007, The Mindset of Innovation, not listed at Amazon nor found with any isbn by Google. Removing these (and some irrelevant family stories) from the article left no claim of notability. I also searched rottentomatoes.com for reviews of his film Fuel but found none, though he and it are listed at IMDB. David Eppstein (talk) 01:53, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • I found possible confirmation at the Lisbon Village Festival site here that the film Fuel won Best International Feature, yet I have not been able to find any newspaper articles about Nash himself (or about this win for Fuel) when I searched a library database. Delete unless some sources are found. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 04:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, IMDB backs up that he won the "The Grand Jury Award" at the Lisbon Film Festival ([1]). Seems notable enough. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC).
  • Comment Uh, that's a biography of Michael Nash submitted by a user named "MN". While IMDB credits are generally 99% correct, biographies are user-submitted and don't pass WP:V. --Dhartung | Talk 06:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment, good catch, didn't see that bit. Struck out my vote. Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC).
  • Exterminate, quite possibly a self-written article. If somebody who wasn't the film maker had written it...? MixItUp 00:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, after sustained investigation (as above), I've been unable to find anything on his "win". Per WP:V and all that. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC).
  • Delete None of his films are even remotely notable and nothing else that he has done is notable enough for him to have his own Wikipedia page. The Dominator (talk) 21:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
