Anders August

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:CREATIVE. While the Oscar-nominated short he co-wrote is probably notable, its notability is not high enough to extend to its screenwriter. Plus, I can't resist pointing out the awfully cute disguise Mr August used to upload his autobiography (which is, of course, his only contribution): username Afa1506, where Afa = Anders Frithiof August and 1506 = June 15, his birthday.

 * Keep. While the subject's notability is not fully certain yet, the fact that he also has writing credits on two feature films set for release later this year tend to support the idea that he may be notable as a screenwriter. I would give him the benefit of the doubt as to notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Even setting aside WP:CRYSTALBALL concerns, how do the future credits bring him closer to satisfying WP:CREATIVE? I'm not even sure the films have Wikipedia articles; the links (to Camping and Applause) August put in there, of course, lead nowhere near where they should. - Biruitorul Talk 07:33, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak delete This is borderline at best. Anders August may grow notable in the future, but WP:CRYSTALBALL seems to apply for now. It would be more convincing if, in the process, he should generate enough interest and not have to write his own entry. Dahn (talk) 08:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The Oscar-nominated short is notable and if we were to delete this article that information would be lost, since there's not yet enough information for a separate article. If someone were to create it, I'd suggest a redirect. - Mgm|(talk) 12:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That August wrote The Pig can easily be found out here; surely someone interested in writing an article on the film would know to consult the IMDb. The real question is whether August himself, not his film, is notable, and no convincing evidence for that has emerged. - Biruitorul Talk 20:28, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
