I think this article is within striking distance of the GA criteria and will be placing it on hold so these issues may be addressed.
 * Do we know what his full name or date of birth is?
 * Cottam's short films are produced through the banner titled, "Dirty Little Shorts" I think this could do with a bit more explaining. What is a banner in this case? Is it a production company?
 * Some of his films may warrant articles; consider some redlinks here.
 * The filmography mentions some films that aren't mentioned in the Career section. The Career section should mention these. They are Dirty Words: The Letter C, Je dis non, Ali, Laser Blasters, Objects, and Pollywogs.
 * The awards section uses an IMDB reference. IMDB is not generally considered a reliable source; something better should be used here.

Thank you,, for these helpful suggestions, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 01:14, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Response to GA Review
 * 1) Unfortunately I haven't come across his full name or birth date in the course of my research.
 * 2) Copy edited this, it's part of a topical series.
 * 3) Good point, added a couple redlinks.
 * 4) I'd agree, however these other ones haven't received much discussion among secondary sources.
 * Yes, it's true IMDB isn't a reliable source in most cases, but I think it is considered so narrowly with respect to Filmography and Awards, both of which can be confirmed in the credits of the Works themselves and the Award shows.


 * Your answers are satisfactory enough; I've passed this.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 01:11, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
