[edit] Notability
Notability was perceived by those reading the Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance) when this came up. It is strongly suggested by [1] among others. jnothman talk 15:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- The counterpoint is that signing a petition is not itself guarantee of notability, (although if the petition is limited in scope and limited to people who are notable on a topic that the petition speaks to, it does certainly suggest it) nor is testifying before Congress (or appearing in a congressional report) itself guarantee of notability. Ditto for several of the other things given. While the subject doesn't seem to have an IMDB entry (something one would expect from a filmmaker that is notable), which argues against notability, I would tend to say that the collection of things, taken as a whole, are sufficient, and were this to come up for AfD again, I'd argue in favor of keeping it, (but then I am an inclusionist!!!) although I think it's "just barely" notable, as it were. (I refer to my own example in counterpoint, I've been on local TV several times promoting something or another, I am very well known in an esoteric (LEGO) fan community, I sell my artistic creations, I have a website that's been around for ages (although it has no Alexa rank at all, so therefore not notable!) I've been cited in academic papers, interviewed and quoted in Wired articles, etc, etc... yet I do not think I am notable! I am firmly on the other side of the line, none of these individually is enough, nor is the collection of them taken as a whole, enough)... Hope that makes sense. ++Lar 20:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question to Mr. Bemister
Dear Mr. Bemister,
I'm a German investigative journalist and I'm working on the story of the former SS-Colonel Walter Rauff. I´m very much interested in the interview you made with Rauff in 1979. So I would like to ask you if the film "The Hunter and the Hunted" is online anywhere (at least the part with the interview) or if you have any possibility to provide this interview for me. Also I would appreciate if there is only a transcript of the interview.
Thank you in Advance for your help.
Best regards
Dr. Sabine Kornhagen
