BLP article does not meet WP:CREATIVE nor WP:BIO, and does not meet WP:GNG. Tgeairn (talk) 18:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy Keep - Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is based upon the availability of significant coverage in reliable sources, rather than whether or not sources are present in articles. Clicking on the Google News link above links to several articles comprised of significant coverage about this person, who therefore passes WP:BASIC and WP:GNG.
 * Source examples just from page 1 of the Google news link for this AfD discussion include:, , , , ,.
 * Please strongly consider performing the suggested source searching at WP:BEFORE, section D, prior to nominating clearly notable topics for deletion.

 * Thank you for your review. In considering whether to propose this article, I reviewed the sources you provided (and several others). The result of my review was that the available sources are either reviews of a particular work (and not of the artist or his body of work), capsule reviews (which are specifically excluded for at Notability_(films)) or interviews which are WP:PRIMARY and not indicative of notability. Again I appreciate your message; but the end result is that we have a BLP which has been the subject of ongoing unsourced debate, and reliable sources have not been located to resolve the debate. --Tgeairn (talk) 22:04, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Easily meets the GNG. Here is a quote from the Santa Cruz Sentinel - "Cam Archer is a gifted and idiosyncratic filmmaker whose work has been shown at both Sundance and Cannes." - nuff said.    Th e S te ve   21:11, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
