Proposed deletion of Henok Mebratu


The article Henok Mebratu has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: Promotional puffery. The sentence "one of three award-winning Ethiopian filmmakers selected to participate at the Cannes Film Festival" is deliberately misleading: it implies that Mebratu is award-winning (he is not, the award the sentence is describing is winning the trip to Cannes), and it implies that he screened a film at Cannes (again, no, it was a trip where he got to go to workshops and programs). The assertion that Mebratu has worked on 5 feature films is technically true, but not as director or even screenwriter - looking at his actual credits shows he does odd jobs at best.

Total lack of sources, utterly fails WP:NCREATIVE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 11:38, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
