Ben Nemtin

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

Does not meet basic WP:N requirements, known only for fairly low-key MTV tv series, no notable awards, no significant news coverage as an individual. — raeky t 03:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. New York Times #1 bestselling author plus creator-producer of well-known MTV series. Article needs expansion, but notability is there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BennyHillbilly (talk • contribs) 05:58, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Is not, in fact, even the author of a book. Qworty (talk) 10:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and allow continued improvements to this stub. WP:AUTHOR does not refer to only authors of books, but is set to address creative individuals in general. As the MTV show The Buried Life , "major" or not, has established notability enough to merit a Wikipedia article, it can be argued that this person, as creator, executive producer and cast member of the show, meets WP:CREATIVE. And the book What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? IS a book, DID make the New York Times Bestseller list,[1] and WAS in fact co-authored by Nemtin,[2] so a claim that it is not a book or that Nemtin had no part in its creation is patently incorrect. As a book itself receiving coverage in multiple reliable sources,[3] the book meets the standards set at WP:NBOOK per WP:BKCRIT and the "author" portion of guideline and WP:NBOOK is met. And oh... we have the individual himeself being the recipient of coverage in multiple reliable sources... another point in his favor.[4] I see an improvable stub on a notable topic. I do not see anything that requires deletion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:47, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
