Chris christman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A well-employed, but not particularly notable film special effects and CG supervisor. Twice nominated for awards within his field (the Visual Effects Society) but no evidence of notability outside his field (no significant coverage, no major award (Emmy, Oscar) wins or nominations). It may do well to note that this appears to be an autobiography. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

q: Yes, the above is an autobiography. Please bear with my Wiki folleys. I have been trying to set up a wiki presence similar to what my friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_jacobs has created for himself. This page was not created by other people on his behalf. It is a counterpart to his other pages, most of which he created. I mean this in a positive current, as I am simply pointing to a practical example to reference. And while I am not a member of the Producers Guild, been nominated for an Emmy, and am not particularly "notable" as the description of me reads, our day to day functions are very close to the same. Is a certified source simply a magazine write up where I am mentioned? I ask because the standard seems a bit subjective and I would love to comply and provide what is needed, so I am not deleted.... :)

Does a source such as the following count a something certified? Or perhaps a mention in an issue of Cinefex? Thank you. This or this at Goggle books or this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.214.25.43 (talk) 00:09, 14 December 2013 (UTC) 
 * Comment The provided sources provide only the briefest mentions in passing, and, while they do verify that Christman was nominated for a Visual Effect Society award for his work on Ben 10, that is a relatively small accomplishment. (Nominated, not won, and the award itself is not considered a major award.)  Mr. Christman has been informed about why his efforts to "set up a Wiki presence" are misdirected.

 * Delete. Fails WP:CREATIVE.  Does not appear to have significant coverage in reliable sources.  Unfortunately, there aren't all that many SFX guys who attain the notability necessary to have their own Wikipedia article.  Robert Kurtzman would be an example of someone who has articles written about him in Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Fangoria, etc. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:59, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
