The references are, in the main, for a film, not the person. Two editors have separately redirected this to the film. The film seems to be notable. The director? I think he does not qualify, at least with these references.

It has been greatly expanded with film fan style references since I accepted it at AFC and not, I think, for the better. Some form of consensus is needed here Fiddle Faddle 12:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that the AfD banner has been removed just now by 115.97.22.108. This IP editor has made no edits outside this deletion discussion and removing the banner. I have replaced the banner in order to lead others to the discussion Fiddle Faddle 16:28, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  In case you don't revert these temp removals, they get reverted by a bot anyways. - hako9 (talk) 16:43, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Hako9, Indeed they do, but it is well that participants in the discussion are made aware Fiddle Faddle 16:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not independently notable. Doesn't have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The sources cited are focused on the movie that the subject directed, not the subject himself. - hako9 (talk) 12:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• The page has all the vital informations and the references are accurate. If deletion discussion is inevitable,if the page has no sufficient references, the former editor of the page can be assisted to complete it perfect, or the page can be put up for public to edit so that the available information and work put in to create this page will not be wasted. In addition stoping this page from deletion encourages the editor to edit more post in futre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.62.141.147 (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC) — 27.62.141.147 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete per above deletion rationales. The drive-by IP opposers to deletion make weak cases at best.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I don't think the subject of the article has notability at this point. Possibly WP:TOOSOON. EverybodyEdits (talk) 16:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
