Movie director. May go far. For now, though, there's a few prizes at obscure film festivals, one (lengthy) bio at a NZ news site that doesn't really confer notability, two films that by the writer's admission were notable for being low budget, and that's it. A very promising career, but has not yet received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:15, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Many reputable journalistic and other sources. The San Tropez and Cannes Film festivals are not obscure film festivals. Very few films are selected for them. Rick570 (talk) 00:09, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What I see is a set of near-promotional articles. Drmies (talk) 00:43, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I'd be inclined to delete unless secondary sources crop up to show that he meets WP:FILMMAKER. At the moment all I could find was this piece by stuff.co.nz used to promote his latest film (same as the first reference given in the article, though erroneously attributed to Dominion Post). Otherwise the page references seem more suitable for the page Eternity (2012 film) than the director.  Funny  Pika! 05:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The article appeared in the hard copy Dominion Post, a leading NZ daily newspaper, as cited. Stuff is a newsite owned by Fairfax which owns several newspapers in NZ including the Dominion Post.Rick570 (talk) 08:04, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect to Eternity (2012 film) which is the source of this coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * do not delete or merge; only part of the article is related to Eternity (2012 film)Rick570 (talk) 03:21, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, are you saying that you'd prefer a plain delete to a merge and redirect? That seems odd, could you expand? Stuartyeates (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Eternity (2012 film) per WP:TOOSOON. Article's subject does not meet WP:FILMMAKER; newspaper coverage is from a single source.  Mini  apolis  14:41, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
