Charlie Downs (animator)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG due to lack of reliable sourcing online. Only substantial material that I could find on this animator was an obituary on a blog. Everything else only brief mentions about the work he did and little to nothing nothing about himself (thus also failing WP:BASIC). The Night Watch    (talk)   21:00, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge to Walt Disney Animation Studios. A simple GBooks find does find coverage of his involvement in various Disney works and animated films, but they are not necessarily on the man himself. The interview in Walt’s People –: Talking Disney with the Artists who Knew Him, the first result, is simply an WP:INTERVIEW. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 22:03, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:49, 10 August 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting. I'm not sure about a Merge to Walt Disney Animation Studios as that article doesn't contain any content about animators. Perhaps a Redirect would be more appropriate? Or a different target article?

 * Delete per nom. A search found zero sources that show notability, just a couple of brief mentions. Subject fails WP:GNG and does not meet WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm, what searches did you do? A Google Books search did find the WP:INTERVIEW source I mentioned earlier as well as his contribution, and his contributions to animated projects were discussed for more than a few brief mentions. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 14:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Something like List of Disney animators? There are a fair amount of these animators that do not have sources mainly about them, but are heavily discussed for their contributions. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 14:26, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be great, User:HumanxAnthro, if the article actually existed. We can't Merge or Redirec to a nonexistent page. Care to start this one? Liz Read! Talk! 01:24, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Just making a suggestion. That's all. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 14:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
