Fails WP:GNG with no in-depth secondary sources, just articles which either fail to mention Cooper by name, or mention his name only in passing in a list of credits. McGeddon (talk) 17:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – There are the same interviews that I mentioned on Articles for deletion/Bradley D. King: , plus others. And the awards for the film. I don't know how notable the commercials are, but if the article survives they could be mentioned. I would like to see more about the person -- birth date, film school, etc. – Margin1522 (talk) 20:53, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Interviews with people are primary sources and cannot be used as a foundation for articles about them. Do awards given to a film automatically confer notability on that film's screenwriter and producer?--McGeddon (talk) 08:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. What they show is that King and Cooper were out on the indie film circuit and succeeded in getting their film noticed. Per Interviews, we can't use interviews for content that would require a secondary source, but they can be used to establish notability, in that someone thought they were notable enough to interview. I think it would be fine to use a couple of quotes from the interviews about themselves or what they were trying to accomplish. The King article now has a link to a nice long review of the film, so it could be based mainly on that. – Margin1522 (talk) 09:29, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
