 * Keep Has won two awards at the Accolade Competition; here are some pieces about him:   Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 01:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Accolade Competition seems non-notable, article has no substantive content added in the 4 years since its creation. If winning 2 awards in that competition is only claim to notability for David Whittet then that would, atm, seem insufficient. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 04:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure - As a producer and filmmaker, I don't think he's notable. Google News searches actually didn't find much aside from the following:, 1, here 2, here 3 and 4. I was also actually going to say delete (recusing myself from the academic side as I am unfamiliar with that) until Google Scholar found some results from what look like seemingly notable sources. As a result, I'm not sure if the academic side makes him notable. Anyone want to clarify this? SwisterTwister   talk  05:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only substantive article I could find is in New Zealand Doctor, a "newspaper" published fortnightly with a circulation of 3000. The Accolade awards appear to be non-notable. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:32, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep while does not meet notability guidelines as a filmmaker, he meets WP:GNG as a doctor from the articles SisterTwister found. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:46, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: That nzdoctor piece is just a niche professional pub puff piece, I have to agree with the nomination.--Milowent • hasspoken  22:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
