There is a lack of independent in-depth coverage of Weinstein himself to establish notability. Weinstein is mentioned in routine coverage and has been interviewed as a company exec about the company he works for. The article was paid for by Studio71. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:52, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• Keep for the same reason as with Reza Izad's article. I personally think this article meets NBIO's basic requirements, with multiple journalistic articles offering coverage of Dan Weinstein's role within Studio71 (formerly known as CDS) bringing "a revolution of MCN networks". In addition to what is already in the article:

Going Direct to the Consumer: Helping Digital Talent Build Businesses –- Dan Weinstein (Co-Founder & President, Studio71)

How to Manage Your Agent: A Writer’s Guide to Hollywood Representation -- Book coverage

In response to JJJMC89's argument that "Weinstein has received coverage related to his notable company but not in-depth about himself outside of the many detailed interviews", I think NBIO's basic requirements clearly address the concern: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability."; lengthy interviews and articles discussing the industry-changing impacts of Weinstein's business decisions & talent management cannot possibly be considered "trivial". (Disclosure, I was asked by a Studio71 contractor to try to cleanup the article, but I would not compromise my integrity and defend any article which I do not believe honestly meets Wikipedia's inclusion policies.)

• Strong delete executive producers are just not inherently notable, and nothing else shows notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:29, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Just my 2¢, but I don't think anyone claimed "executive producers are inherently notable" -- you're absolutely right that they aren't. I think in this case the sources support notability not on the "executive producer" role you mention, but discuss more his successes as (1) talent manager & content officer, personally growing several successful brands and artists and (2) founding & developing The Collective > CDS > Studio71, a series of organizations which have been discussed as near-revolutionary leaders in the MCN industry (sources' words, not mine).

Thanks for your note above about being paid to clean up the article and this one. To fully clarify, are you are being paid, or do you expect to be paid, for these edits, in this AfD? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 17:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
