 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Frankly I would've PRODed if not for the 2008 (completely outdated for Wikipedia currency) as there's still nothing actually convincing, his films have no articles and there's nothing else convincing listed at his IMDb, none of the listed sources are actual coverage and my own searches have found none.

 * Speedy Keep per WP:NOTAGAIN. It's now a stub, but topic is notable per guideline and judged as suitably notable at the last AFD. Is it here again because WP:BEFORE was either overlooked, ignored, or forgotten? As the article now belongs to Wiki and fluff was removed, giving us a nice and well-sourced stub to meet WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO.  And with it being improoved, it can and should stay.  My own quick look at Google News for "Blake Fitzpatrick" director, shows numerous articles about this young director... multiple in-depth and extensive coverage in reliable sources. He has the coverage. The notability is most definitely there through, at minimum, the Kansas City Star, and the Wichita Eagle, and lots of others.  Schmidt,  Michael Q.
 * I think that most of the concern comes from the fact that the coverage is largely local and the awards are from fairly minor film festivals - although the other issue is that it looks like there has been some definite undeclared COI and paid editing with the article and with Fitzpatrick related articles. In any case, I didn't really see much come up when I searched due to others with the same name. I'm not arguing delete yet, just saying that so far there isn't a lot out there as a whole.

 * Delete - There's another Blake Fitzpatrick in the Documentary Media department at Ryerson. Most of the sources I'm seeing which I initially thought to be about this Fitzpatrick are actually about that one. I'm finding almost nothing about this subject (i.e. fails WP:BIO). &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 14:15, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- sourcing does not suggest sufficient coverage to meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:25, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
