No sources provided for notability. Has an IMDB entry, but films he's had major involvement with don't appear to be notable in any way (can't find any Rotten Tomatoes reviews, etc). No indications of any major awards on imdb. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:06, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Anyone can get an IMDb entry. Its a user-generated site! JBsupreme (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, not just "anyone" can get an IMDB listing. Informmation on cast and production is verified by IMDB staff before the information is added to their database. However, I belive the article can be sourced to meet Wikipedia's requirements. Am on it. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I cna't find significant coverage for this person. Joe Chill (talk) 01:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and further cleanup and source. Though this filmmaker is not notable for his industry work as a film editor, his own projects win awards and receive coverage. More to do, yes. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:37, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The edits that have been done since the original article have improved it greatly. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 04:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google news search shows three hundred results do to this being a common enough name. He is featured in one news article I found [1] He has contributed to enough notable works in his filmography, to be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article. I believe the requirements for WP:entertainer have been met. Dream Focus 13:50, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The topic is covered in detail in reliable sources. - Ret.Prof (talk) 14:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:CREATIVE is best here: The person's work... has won significant critical attention; particularly given the awards for his screenplay Blind Ambition. Wine Guy Talk 11:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per assertions of notability and awards and comments of those above. -- Banjeboi 15:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
