Draft improvements and notability[edit]

I believe there are now probably enough reliably sourced inline citations here to establish notability, not only for the body of work as a television director for many very notable series on the BBC and other UK television companies, but also via the entry for him in:

  • Roberts, Jerry (2009). "Roger Jenkins". Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors, p. 282. Scarecrow Press. ISBN 0810863782

I have extensively rewritten and restructured the biographical material into a Life and career section for encyclopedic style, format, and tone. I have removed unverifiable claims, anecdotal reminiscences, hobbies, and detailed information on his family (all of whom are living and none of whom are independently notable). Even were that information verifiable, it would be appropriate for his personal website (if he had one), but not for an encyclopedia article. In my view, when/if this draft is moved to article space, the entire Freelance production chronology section should be removed. It is way too detailed and indiscriminate, poorly referenced in many cases, and very confusingly formatted. A drastically pruned version to include only the most notable productions can always be gradually re-added, with proper references and formatting. The level of detail in that chronology is, once again, suitable for a personal website, but not for an encyclopedia article. An example of this is listing his direction of the dubbing for a Spanish TV series on Pepe Carvalho (presumably into English?) and various obscure advertising/instructional videos. Other elements in the chronology, if verifiable, may be more appropriately dealt with as prose in the Life and career section. Voceditenore (talk) 11:34, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
