No references, no claim of notability, appears likely to be self-promotional. Doctormatt 01:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as no assertion of notability, unsourced, and ultimately not passing WP:BIO. —Gaff ταλκ 05:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Will stay neutral given points raised by Kim Dent-Brown —Gaff ταλκ 17:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

*Keep but if, and only if, it can be re-written from the resumé style it currently sports. One of the films mentioned in the article won an award at Cannes Film Festival 2006 [1] and the same film seems to have won other awards and been exhibited at festivals internationally [2]. I haven't tried to chase down other references as these were the first I looked at and seemed convincing enough. I agree this reads like a self-promotional article right now, but on the evidence I've found in a few minutes searching, the subject is notable and references could support this. I note the article has been tagged for references since summer 2006, so plenty of warning has been given, but maybe this AfD discussion might prompt an interested editor to do something. If the article hasn't been improved in a day or two I shall change my opinion to delete. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 08:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete.Changing my vote from Keep as no attempt has been made over the last week to rewrite into an acceptable format or use the available references. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 15:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
