Larry Smith (cinematographer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:BIO. Article says known for his work with Stanley Kubrick, etc, but offers not evidence via verifiable sources. Article has magically appeared when his film comes out. IMDB records him as cinematographer on Eyes Wide Shut, but working in camera department on many other. Not notable. Fails WP:GNG. scope_creep (talk) 20:58, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly doesn't help his case per WP:CREATIVE that despite the high-profile director(s) he's worked with as a DOP, he has won no major award. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:43, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mild Keep. I stumbled on this pink-link from The Man Who Knew Infinity (film), and added a bit of references (including for his work with Kubrick, noted above as unreferenced). Not sure if that's enough to push it over the line into Keep territory, so I'll go with "mild keep". I'm a little annoyed that the article appears to have been created by the subject himself; although I guess that's not really a reason to delete. TJRC (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
