Delete If there is any notability here it's in the film that went viral, not in the computer programer who made it. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:42, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Pardon, but that opinion seems at odds with WP:CREATIVE, the guideline which tells us that the person primarily responsible for creating a notable work is themselves notable for that creation. No creator, no notable creation... the two being inter-twinned without running afoul of WP:INHERITED. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:58, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Subject is notable. Relevant searches suggest this fact. Resident50 (talk) 12:05, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Article appears to be written by amateur. Relevant searches do suggest the subject is notable.

Keep and continue WP:CLEANUP. The nominator's very first contributon to Wikipedia was malforming this AFD nomnination.[1][2] One need not agree with the message of his viral video, but searches show that both the subject and his works have been the recipient of coverage in multiple reliable source.[3] WP:N is met. What is required is the addressing of issues through regular editing. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:58, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep just needs cleanup.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:59, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
