While the article claims he is internationally recognized, it does not provide any further evidence to support this claims and the only sources provided are to his own website.  MBisanz  talk 16:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I recommend looking at the history of the article. The content has been removed by JB Supreme, even though it is sourced by a proper source, the official faculty page. I am sorry to an editor I respect assisting in the technique of dismembering articles and then nominating hem for deletion. As for actual notability, I'll need to look further. `   DGG ( talk ) 00:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sourced to his own page? Abductive  (reasoning) 06:03, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Having looked, and found references for the publications (and restored the material--I think it really counterproductive for JB to have deleted as unsourced material he could have found sources for with a trivial effort), he meets WP:PROF for having produced a standard reference work of enduring importance, the standard 10v. history of American Cinema.

 * Ahh ok, thanks for seeing that.  MBisanz  talk 06:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep as notable. History of article indeed raises questions. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Comment. It's hard to imagine that the guy isn't potentially notable. Had I come across the language "internationally recognized" I would have just removed that, maybe placed a notability, reliable sources and citation needed tags, and waited. Then if improvements were not forthcoming, I might prod it. BLP concerns are important, and I hope that MBisanz and JBSupreme continue to research the problem and contribute to an overall solution.
