[edit] Notability concerns

I have concerns over the Notability of the subject of this article. None of his claims to notability seem particularly strong. Looking at the film side, while the article claims heavy publicity, I'm not finding it in google.[1] [2] [3] [4] Nor do I see any mention of him at IMDB. While there could be offline sources I don't see, the nearly complete lack of online sources (one posting to a forum, and a mention on the bio page of one of the actors) doesn't give hope for other sources. From a musical perspective, neither of the bands he has been associated with seem to meet the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music), nor does his company seem to meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Anyone disagree or have sources they can add to support the notability? I'll probably put this article up for proposed deletion before too long. - Fordan (talk) 17:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

The movie's were released with the name "Luigi Mangiafico" rather than "Louis Magnifico" - by request from the director himself, they were removed from IMDB in the early 2000s.
As for outside sources citing these films, Memphis Magazine ran articles on him in 2004 - including a feature in July / August 2004 issue. I still have that issue in hard copy. Other sources citing these works include Fangoria magazine and The Commercial Appeal (Memphis newspaper). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidudewrites (talkcontribs) 03:04, 30 September 2007
