 * Keep. I'm not sure where the policy stands here as this is a BLP lacking reliable sources. I also realize that this article was written by the subject. He even sought assistance from the Help Desk clear back in 2008 about how to write his own article. Regardless of the poor writing and approach, Obert is actually an award-winning cinematographer with additional expertise in photography, acting, and producing. Again, it's a bad article, lacking sources, but the subject is definitely notable. Cindamuse (talk) 13:30, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete While Dale might potentially meet notability criteria, the article as it stands is an unreferenced unwikified stub with no real evidence of importance.  Based on this it should be deleted. (and recreated when someone is prepared to write the profile properly (anyone??)). Clovis Sangrail (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article need substantial work, wikified and sources added, but the the guy clearly satisfies notablity guidelines. Deleting and creating it again just creates unnecessary work. scope_creep (talk) 21:24, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless sources (ie: third party coverage) establish notability; imdb & Linkedin are not sufficient. Hairhorn (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
