This individual does not appear to be notable. His only claim to fame is a handful of self-produced direct-to-DVD documentaries on conspiracy-esque subjects and Bob Dylan, and belonging to a local Bob Dylan cover band. This page has already been deleted once in the spring of 2012 and a deletion attempt that December after a since indefinitely blocked user resurrected the article resulted in the article being kept. The page also looks to be little more than a self-congratulatory effort at pretending he is a notable individual as the article has been tagged. Pahiy (talk) 22:17, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I think the sourcing is enough for general notability. I am willing to be persuaded otherwise. Yipee8f93k (talk) 16:10, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject is notable in that his work has been reviewed and discussed in numerous reliable sources, as two minutes of research will verify. No doubt the article can be improved but that is not the question here. Dayirmiter (talk) 11:09, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: enough coverage in reliable sources to contribute to the notability of subject.--Deepak G Goswami (talk) 14:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
