While he most likely will be notable, he's not there yet. All he has done was co-direct (not even direct) a film that hasn't even come out yet. JDDJS (talk) 18:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm still in progress on expanding the entry but there's plenty here to meet GNG as well as NARTIST. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:04, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Whose Streets? which he co-directed is notable (Rotten Tomatoes lists 10 critics reviews[1] and the article notes additiona press coverage). While that means he passes WP:CREATIVE, if that was all he had done, there might still be a case for merging (not deleting). But his art projects have also received press coverage. I don't understand grounds for calling for deletion: it's clear that he's done other things, covered in the press, and the film has been screened and reviewed several times. When discussing such a politically controversial topic, it's important to rely on the facts and policies and not make unsubstantiated claims. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
