Non-notable economist/documentarian whose article was deleted once before, there are still no sources from which to write a BLP. Sources just show that his films won awards at non-notable film festivals. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:27, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per before. Nakon  19:29, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt I don't know what the previous deleted version looks like. But this version certainly doesn't look good because of the lack of reliable sourcing. I searched on Google but I don't see anything useful. Should be salt to prevent re-creation.— Chris! c / t 22:03, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per poor WP:BEFORE and send to WP:CLEANUP. Even in ignoring his being a film producer who has won awards whose notability is undetermined, we have a decent assertion of notability per WP:CREATIVE #1 in that "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors."  If THAT is sourced, the individual will meet notability criteria.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * In my reserching and cleanup, I do note that not only was an earlier stub article on Bill Still deleted in 2007, but a stub article on William T. Still was deleted by prod in 2008. Each time with the same concerns toward sourcing.  But again, if his work being cited by peers can be sourced, that works toward notability... and it also must be noted that his film The secret of Oz was released and received its awards and critical comentary as an event in the man's life which took place AFTER the two earlier deletions.   The current article is not a stub... and nothing stays still or remains the same. Still working.....  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
