 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Nomination Withdrawn. Even with the delete votes, I feel that the article has been improved enough to substantiate a close for this debate. Since the delete votes are extremely similar to the issues brought up by the nom and since the nom withdrew, I am assuming that the delete voters will reverse their decisions as well. If you object to this, please renominate and message me on my talk page. Non-admin closure. D ARTH P ANDA duel 20:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Blake Fitzpatrick

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

This article is about a film director who fails to meet notability. Tags requesting article improvement were removed by somebody related to his company based on the username raising issues of conflict of interest. A search conducted on google and google news turns up no reliable sources to support notability. All references supplied in the article are to IMDB and only confirm listings of movies he has directed or written. There is no indication that his work has received a significant award or any other indication of thrid party coverage. Whpq (talk) 19:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As nominator, the articles from the Kansas City Star and the Wichita Eagle are sufficient to establish notability, and as such, I am withdrawaing the nomination, and advocating keep for the article. -- Whpq (talk) 02:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:BIO and the COI is obvious. Darrenhusted (talk) 14:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * SPEEDY KEEP. Forget the COI.... as the article now belongs to Wiki. Fluff can be removed. COI can be neutralized. It can be improved and should stay. If someone removes the tag, just put it back. My own quick look at Google News for "Blake Fitzpatrick" director, shows numerous articles about this young direector... multiple in-depth and extensive coverage in reliable sources. He has the coverage. The notability is most definitely there. Forget about COI and let's make this a proper BLP per The Kansas City Star, The Wichita Eagle, and THIS.

 * Thanks for digging up the articles, although it might have been easier if you made it more clear as the search result includes lots of Blake Fitzpatricks that are clearly not related. The Two KC Star articles are are from different years so its clear that the coverage was more than a one time thing so I'm satisfied that there is notability. -- Whpq (talk) 02:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. Was not able to do as thorough a sourcing as I would have myself liked, and apologize for any superfluous links. Was at the time stuck using dial-up. 50kbps is painful after broadband.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:29, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
