 * Weak delete I have expanded the article and added four references but despite the modest amount of coverage he has received he is still an indie director with no notable films. (To closing admins: if this is still the only vote when it comes time to close it please re-list, more discussion is needed). -Icĕwedg Ё  (ťalķ) 22:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the addition of even more sources by Paul Erik. -Icĕwedg Ё  (ťalķ) 05:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment – I've also now added several references: articles in The Gazette, Variety, Playback, and the Montreal Mirror. None are exclusively about Gaylor, but they are all non-trivial mentions, likely enough for the "basic criteria" of WP:BIO. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment since its frowned on to add stuff about oneself, re: "notable films" - http://www.nfb.ca/collection/films/fiche/?id=51284&v=h&lg=en

I am also on the executive of the Quebec chapter of the Documentary Organization of Canada.

 * Comment - how does an article on Lessig act as a source for this article? --T-rex 01:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The article (from the San Francisco Chronicle) mentions Gaylor's film The Basement Tapes, has a quote from Gaylor, and verifies that Gaylor is from Montreal. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - just about sufficient media coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 10:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Reliable sources have been posted that show this guy isn't "the average Joe", so I have no concerns with keeping this article. If an article doesn't fail any policies, and the subject has some notability, I believe we should keep it.--SJP (talk) 12:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Referring to WP:CREATIVE, I don't believe Mr. Gaylord has yet achieved any of the criteria.  The closest would appear to be "(c) has won significant critical attention" for which it may be argued that his win at Banff in 2005 would suffice, but I am not convinced that it does.
