Patrick McGuinn

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

Fails WP:BASIC. Not one secondary source is used in this article (as is required for Wikipedia biographies). The sources are a mixture of blog interviews, one-word mentions, and dead links. A few sources are not linked. Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:FILMMAKER. This is the second (or third?) AfD for this biography. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agreed, I am not finding anything to establish notability for this Patrick McGuinn.--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:40, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would like to point out that secondary sources are used: Variety, South Florida Gay News, which is Florida's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender newspaper, and Sean Abley's book "Out in the Dark: Interviews with Gay Horror Filmmakers, Actors and Authors". Also, his films are permanently housed in notable archives (UCLA Film Archives, and the Frameline collection), which meets notability standards. It looks like these authoritative and important references for this particular subject were overlooked.Pclibuser (talk) 21:49, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please list some of the secondary sources here, with links? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:09, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Let's start with the book, linked to snippets in Google Books. One of the films at the UCLA Archive. They have a total of 6 of his films currently in the film archive. Interview from The Wild. The Wild is an arts-focused magazine published bi-annually. South Florida Gay News review — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pclibuser (talk • contribs) 23:06, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The only other thought I have is to remove the dead links from the references, as the secondary sources are present and notability is met with the archival holdings. These were the concerns brought forward, and I believe the article answers those concerns.Pclibuser (talk) 19:39, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
