Promotional biography (likely autobio) with lots of name dropping and a lack of reliable independent sourcing. Does not meet WP:CREATIVE. Mccapra (talk) 04:37, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: I do see mention of him (so far typically as just "Max Hilva") in relation to the music videos, but so far there aren't any lengthy mentions that would really establish notability. Most of the time it's just an offhand mention that he directed the given music video. I don't think that there are any notability guidelines that specifically look at people who direct official music videos of notable songs. It's possible that this may merit a discussion in the future, but that's a discussion for another time. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Search turns up namechecks. (Not a notability comment, but the article title seems to be an attempt at promotion, as it is a brand name rather than his name.) So, Directed by Max, deleted by Wikipedia.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:00, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly an article written solely for the sake of promotion for a non-notable topic. While there are some mentions about the person in articles, they all seem to be in passing and lacking the depth needed to pass WP:GNG or more specific notability guidelines. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:52, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete While there is a potential claim of notability, there are no sources in the article that are in-depth and about him from reliable and verifiable sources, nor could I find anything more in a Google search that would meet the standard. Alansohn (talk) 11:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - A promotional article for a non-notable filmmaker. It could be a case of TOOSOON, but at this time there is not enough out SIGCOV in RS out there on him nor his business to justify an article. Netherzone (talk) 15:55, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:57, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete fails all notability criteria and almost all entirely primary sources, including Wikipedia *facepalm*. Single claim to fame of directing a video that won was "the #3 spot in VEVO's Top 10 Most Viewed Hip-Hop Videos of All Time" doesn't cut the mustard. Glen 11:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as not meeting WP:BIO. Created (and directed) by a single-purpose account called Jointheorg what is now blocked up indefinite.  --Lockley (talk) 09:34, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
