An enormous number of words--quite obviously written by the subject himself and name-dropping like mad--but essentially unsubstantiated: the two references added since the 'prod' tag was originally added are not only minor, the second doesn't even support the claim made. Even assuming the claims made are true, once the Hollywood name-dropping and plot summaries are stripped away, you have someone who doesn't come near to rating a biographical article.

 * Delete Might rate an article some day, but I see lots of things proposed or pending or hoped for or to be released in the future. It is hard to be sure how certain the prognostications are. Edison (talk) 15:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'd like to correct a couple of things in the nomination. Firstly this is by no means "quite obviously written by the subject himself" - to say that breaches our policy of assuming good faith. Also the second reference was not "added since the 'prod' tag was originally added" - it was already in the article. It is there to verify that the listed actors are in the film. That the subject is scriptwriter and producer is confirmed by http://www-dot-aceshowbiz-dot-com/news/view/00017982.html but I couldn't add that to the article because that site is blacklisted.

 * Delete. Despite the air of bad faith around this nomination I must agree that the subject appears not to be notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:16, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing is yet asserted which is likely to be considered notable. But first at the very minimum a script must be not just drafted but accepted, and a film released. DGG (talk) 02:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
