Non-notable, recreation of previously deleted article. There's more content this time, but it's all sourced to one interview, which is the only source I could find apart from an imdb entry. I'm pretty confident this person does not meet our notability requirements. GTBacchus(talk) 00:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete This individual seems to be notable as he is listed at IMDB as an animator on several projects over a number of years. The article as it sits should be deleted due to the nature of the writing, which reads like a bumbling life history, including data on his parents that is anecdotal, rather than citing his accomplishments that would be interesting to the average reader. If the article is not drastically improved in both tone and form, it should be deleted. With some work, however, the article could certainly be saved.

 * Delete i cannot find any other references that show any notability beyond the one interview here, which while establishing his existence, doesnt count as a reliable source to show notability. it would make an acceptable external link if he was notable. there is a david teague who cowrote final cut pro 3 the book, but this david teague would surely have mentioned that on his personal sites if it is him. his credits in film i dont believe justify an article, no credits as the senior editor or animator, or major animator on an award winning or highly notable piece. i did not check all the above find source suggestions, though. i dont think its necessary, if IMDB doesnt show notability (i know its not reliable, but its unlikely to underplay someones notability, only overplay with uncredited apearances)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Failing WP:GNG is not an ipso-facto automatic failure of WP:ENT. A long, diverse career as a writer, cartoonist, director, actor, filmmaker and comedian, give it depth.  Yes, having only one significant and in-depth  article at Retrocrush as a source is naturally a concern.  But guideline does not demand immediate perfection, and it would seem that since addressing the concern would simply require work... such surmountable concerns are not cause for deletion.

 * i agree that its inappropriate to consider only one aspect of any persons notability, say professor but not author. I also agree that this encyclopedia is a work in progress. but, i still dont see a level of notability here for an article. Retrocrush is not very notable, at least per our WP article. If someone can show some reliable sources, print or internet, to help demonstrate notability, I am happy with leaving it relatively poorly written until someone can add the references. i just couldnt find anything.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I would be agreeable to it being moved from mainspace and placed in WP:Incubation for continued work. Might you?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:45, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Based on his long career involved in many notable media.  D r e a m Focus  07:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT. Sure, he's done a bunch of stuff, but was any of it notable (or, was his contribution to it notable)?    Snotty Wong   talk 23:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not appear to have had significant roles, which is why there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources. I thought the credits as a director might be good, except that IMDB lists most of these as "uncredited" or "unknown episodes" (, etc). Maybe they were significant roles, maybe they weren't, but without verifiable information we cannot know. By all means put it in incubation to see if better sources are available, but it shouldn't be brought back to mainspace unless those sources are found. Quantpole (talk) 10:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
