Not notable. Please don't confuse this with Christopher Young, who *is* notable when you are searching to verify. Young Films, his company was deleted via AFD two weeks ago, and is up for speedy now. was speedy deleted. PHARMBOY (moo) (plop) 16:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Credited as the producer in several articles already in Wikipedia. Perhaps if both the creator and nominator use this search, good sources for proper references can be found. Notable enough to have been discussed in the Scottish Parliament! They seem to know who he is, and they probably have never heard of that movie music guy. I have never heard of either one before. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 23:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What I see is a lot of incidental mentions and lot of sites that fail wp:rs. You may very well be right that he is notable, I just don't see anything more than "blah movie was produced by Christopher Young" which is only a mention in passing. More than that is needed to establish notability. It is a borderline case at best (His production company article has been deleted. And salted for recreation.) so this isn't the slam dunk you are making it out to be. this was about the best I found. The rest were passing mentions, google ad forms, blogs, forums or just not wp:rs material. If you have a couple of better citations that clearly pass wp:rs, please show them, I will be happy to put them in the article and withdraw. PHARMBOY (moo) (plop) 00:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As a side note, every single wikilink you are talking about in the article, for movies or people, are unsourced as well. We just have a ring of unsourced movies and people, none of which have demonstrated they are notable, so they certainly cant' "inherit" it from each other. I get the feeling that even more will end up getting trimmed down. PHARMBOY (moo) (plop) 00:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. Even if he is a producer of several films notability is not inherited. Darrenhusted (talk) 14:53, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How is notability secured? Through an IMBD external reference? Through BBC news pages? (seenews.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7025599.stm) User:Rhianna84 —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]
- Reply That is too complicated to put in one or two sentences. Here are the guidelines for notability and reliable sources and verification. The notability guideline has several sub guidelines, and one should apply. IMDB, blogs, user input sites, encyclopedias can not be use to verify. They can often be added as "informative" but they prove nothing because they are not authoritive and vetted. These are the same guidelines we are saying the article should be deleted under, so it would be helpful if you read and understand them, as they are the backbone of most AFD discussions. If you don't take the time to actually *read* the policies, you will never understand what the actual nomination is about. DENNIS BROWN (T) (C) 23:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Inadequately sourced BLP of someone of marginal notability. RMHED (talk) 20:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
