Daniel Boyd

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable film maker. An article that looks like a cross between a vanity piece and a resume with no references/sources for verifiability.  Web H amster  13:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The page was originally about a wrestler and was nominated for speedy deletion due to it being patent nonsense. Then the page was suddenly changed to this non-nontable film maker by a user whose only contribution to Wikipedia has been the "Daniel Boyd" page.  It seems an obvious vanity piece and should be put to rest. StudierMalMarburg (talk) 15:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete In reading article, claims of notability seem to be "West Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame" and "Filmmaker of the Year". Gsearch reveals that the "West Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame" is a room in a bar where they put people's pictures up. Gsearch for "Filmmaker of the Year" + "Daniel Boyd" gives 21 ghits, most of which are either very short press releases by the WV Film Board or Daniel Boyd's own web site -- none of the ghits are showing notability. Other possibilities for notability would be professorship, but I'm not finding evidence this person meets Notability (academics), and professional wrestling career -- gsearch for wrestling + "Daniel Boyd" isn't turning up much other than the State Journal article, which I've added to a references section in the article.--Fabrictramp (talk) 21:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
