Alan Blake (director)

Autobiography that fails WP:BASIC with no secondary sources. None of the awards are confirmed by sources, and one appears inaccurate; neither the Cannes festival nor the "Cannes Lions" advertising festival have given out any 2017 awards yet. Closest thing I can find for a confirming source for any of these awards is that an Alan Blake was on the jury for the 1981 British Arrows Awards. McGeddon (talk) 09:39, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Self-created vanity piece, the "Videographer Awards" mentioned appears to be a marketing service where awards are paid for - their website says "Winning awards is an inexpensive way to distinguish your work from others. Prospects want to do business with award winning firms." Neither these awards or the person is notable. Melcous (talk) 10:51, 31 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete I did find a small mention in a book to go along with his Imdb page. The article sources and what I've found in searching still fail basic and WP:CREATIVE. Would reconsider if better sources are located. Gab4gab (talk) 20:49, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Are you sure the mention in the book is to the same person?John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The one claim currently in the article, that he created a public service announcement for solar power, is so minor I am almost tempted this article should be speedy deleted per A7 for making no claim to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:17, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
