 * Looks like a delete to me, at this point. It's an unsourced BLP, so fine, source it. But I can't find any sources sufficient to construct an article on. If they are there, it might be better to burn this article to the ground and start over.


 * IMBb (not reliable, but usually fairly comprehensive) has him for My Honor Was Loyalty. But it is a short film, not a feature film. Pepe wrote it, directed it, edited it, and wrote and performed the music. While admirable, this isn't the sort of thing you see with important films, usually. His only other IMDb credit is for just the music in another short film, Does It Really Matter. This is a pretty narrow platform on which to build an article. It's possible that instead a focus on just the film My Honor Was Loyalty could lead to an article, if someone wants to dig up a couple reviews in notable publications or something. For now: bad article, unsourced BLP, no evidence of sufficient notability -- no article. Herostratus (talk) 17:08, 31 December 2018 (UTC)


 * delete as original research per WP:OR. Unsourced content needs to be sourced or removed per WP:V. I question notability of this person with so much unproven potential. Achievements beyond this are needed to be notable. I don't question fundamental notability of the short (1h 55m) film getting invited to Cannes, but to be clear, it was received as a low budget, amateurish first effort, whose storyline failed to rise above the ordinary. For a film exploring honor in war, it undercuts its message by inexplicably depicting allied forces as terrifyingly inhumane while blithely ignoring the context that the 1st SS division killed unarmed captured soldiers numbering in the thousands. Where is the honor in that? With such unartful execution, it will take much further development and effort for this director to establish a successful and notable career. -- Paleorthid (talk) 18:56, 31 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete In addition to what the other users have said here, the subject fails the general notability guidelines and WP:FILMMAKER. The most I found was a Facebook page. Opencooper (talk) 22:43, 31 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete No reliable sources can be found. (So many Citation needed Templates... I think one BLP unsourced tag is enough.)--94rain (talk) 08:53, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * To be fair, an IP user added all those CN templates after the AFD started. Those are recent.--v/r - TP 19:53, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
