Notability[edit]

Richert directed two films (Winter Kills, Jimmy Reardon) which are in Wikipedia; since the films are notable enough to be here, and he made the films (and wrote the book Jimmy Reardon is based on), he is notable. Richert has also directed many notable actors (Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Elizabeth Taylor). There are several dead wikilinks to Richert on the Winter Kills page, suggesting the 'pedia expects him to have a page. Richert is also engaged in significant lawsuits with the WGA/DGA which are notable in themselves. - Cdumas (talk) 08:12, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is still a heap of work to do to improve this article but he is provably the director of multiple notable films. I have cleaned up the article a bit, added an infobox, added categories, and rewritten the lead to indicate his notability. This article needs references and significant expansion but it's now an acceptable stub so I removed the speedy tag. - Dravecky (talk) 08:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
