Not notable enough for Wikipedia and cannot find many sources to support his relevance/notability for Wikipedia. Possibly written by the subject himself. Sheroddy (talk) 23:12, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Searches on News, Newspapers, Highbeam and JStor revealed nothing to show notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I found a little bit of coverage. He wrote The Guerilla Filmmakers Handbook and is the Creative Director of the London Screenwriters' Festival, both of which are discussed in this article from Screen International. Also, his short Gone Fishing got a little press in this article. Also some coverage in this article from ABC Online, and this article says that his short got lots of awards (without actually listing them). I'm not 100% completely convinced, but I think maybe there's enough built up notability here. I think it needs a bit more review, and I suspect most of these Wikipedia articles were created by COI SPAs. But I guess I'm leaning toward keep.

- Here's some more coverage: [1] from Filmmaker and [2] from The Guardian. They're interviews, but that's still coverage. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:55, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Ah, why not. I'll vote to keep. Seems that nobody else is going to comment on the sources I found. I listed seven or eight sources above, and I guess that's good enough for me, even if some of them are a bit light. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and procedural close, nothing suggests the mandatory due dilligence has been performed. Nothing found? And what about
