No evidence that this WP:BLP meets the notability criteria for inclusion. Claim to fame appears to be a single syndicated essay. Looking in to the International Academy of Visual Arts Award for the spin-off short film it appears that to win one you just need to pay the entrance fee. Nancy talk  16:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is the work of a hideous WP:SPA that has come here solely to inflict WP:AUTO, WP:COI, and WP:SPAM upon us.  One of his self-promotional articles was relegated to red-link land and then redirected to his autobio article--what a treat for us!  Mr. Pollay has no notability whatsoever.  There are real writers out there who are known for multiple works throughout the years.  Even a cursory look at his record reveals that he is not one of them.

 * Delete™ - while Pollay has had a passing mention in one Business Week article, it's down on page 2 of the online version, thus failing the requirement of "Significant coverage". That is the only reliable source in the whole article, and the burden of verification is on the creator (Pollay or his agent) to prove. Wikipedia is not a web host to be filled with trademark neologisms and self promotion. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

He's reposted his page as a user profile, still coming up under a Google search for his essay + wikipedia. LOL
