Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nakon  02:32, 24 May 2016 (UTC) Keep - although there isn't really a notability guideline under either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NFILM to cover music video directors specifically, this guy has shot videos for a lot of notable artists (see the number of bluelinked acts) in a particular sector that doesn't get a lot of mainstream coverage, but within the specialised hip hop field there are plenty of citations backing up the claims on his filmography (search for either "Charles Robinson" or "Charles M. Robinson" on sites like Hip Hop On Deck, Hip Hop Inquirer, Hot New Hip Hop etc.) The article as it stands needs work - more prose and less lists! - but I'd contend that since if we were talking about a rap artist rather than a rap video director he'd pass WP:NMUSIC with these same credits and this same coverage, just because we don't have specific guidelines for this kind of situation, I'd argue the GNG is satisfied here. ✤ Fosse  8 ✤  13:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep as seems to be notable in his field of music videos, the article is referenced but can be improved. Passes WP:BASICAtlantic306 (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * What about the fact that this is still a thinly-sourced biography with nothing else to suggest sourcing and otherwise making the article better, including by adding the needed substantial sources. This should not be kept as the current state without at least some efforts or at least removing from mainspace. SwisterTwister   talk  07:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
