Article about a film and music video director, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for filmmakers. As always, filmmakers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to show evidence of passing one or more criteria for notability -- significant awards, evidence of third-party reliable source coverage and analysis about them and their work in media and/or books, etc. -- but this literally just says he exists, lists a bunch of jobs he did, and sources all of it exclusively to directory entries (IMDb) and other primary sources (Vevo) that aren't support for notability at all, which is not enough. He needs either a significant volume of WP:GNG-worthy coverage, or a stronger notability claim than just his work's existence.

 * Keep. Meets WP:FILMMAKER for the combination of
 * 1) Directing the feature film Johnson Family Vacation – critically panned but a major film nonetheless – reviewed many many major critics including but not limited to Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper (quoted in ),  Stephanie Zacharek for Salon.com, as well as critics for Chicago Reader , Globe and Mail, and many other major outlets. Note that as director, subject was discussed directly in many of these reviews.
 * 2) Verifiably directing a large number of major music videos including but not limited to:
 * 3) "I Wish (R. Kelly song)"
 * 4) T-Boz's "My Getaway"
 * 5) Uncle Sam's "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again", with Boyz II Men
 * 6) Rome (R&B singer)'s I Belong to You (Every Time I See Your Face)
 * 7) Allure (group)'s version of "All Cried Out (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam song)"
 * It seems very likely, given all this coverage, that WP:BASIC is met as well, though WP:FILMMAKER suffices. :&mdash;siro&chi;o 06:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
