 * Sadly, delete. It seems the user has since worked on improving the article in good faith, going through the usual struggles with Wiki style. Another good example why we need to encourage new editors to improve existing articles for a while even more before letting them create new ones. Maybe it could be userified? Or some material suggested to be merged into, say, computer-generated imagery? Or merged into Paul Debevec since it is somewhat a promotion for his work. His article right now is mostly just talking about how his awards, listing movies without a source, and in-line promotional external links. From the categories perhaps the intent was to focus on using computers to intentionally fool people. I suppose that might be a topic if enough sources are found written about that aspect. But now it seems a bunch of statements about movie special effects? I just checked a few of the "sources" and they do not seem to use the specific term "digital look-alike". One calls it "Digital Cloning" for example. This article right now is still an orphan and has so many other problems. W Nowicki (talk) 17:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
