Fails WP:N, as well as being poorly written and barely biographical. EM64T (talk) 18:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Keep definitely a notable music video director. OJ411 (talk) 13:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'll just say upfront that I have zero interest in this guy or what he does, but even I've heard of him! A glance at Google News Archive shows LOADS of sources there. Mabalu (talk) 18:24, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Although I might be thinking of Professor X, now I think about it. However, still a Keep vote based on the Google News archive material, there seemed to be a lot of stuff there that can't all be non-RS. Mabalu (talk) 01:40, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Can you point out some of the significant coverage from the "LOADS of sources"? -- Whpq (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * A lot of the promising ones appear to be pay-to-view such as 1 and 2. The preview for this Dec 10 2006 article read: "Little X Brampton native, born Julien Lutz, who has made a name directing videos for everyone from the pious Deborah Cox ("It's Over Now") to the currently ...". A free source in French. Not sure this online South African magazine is a RS but it adds to the volume of international sources out there. Canadian interview. Article on name change. An amusing one about Somerset farmers making a rap video directed by X. This guy really gets around. To be honest, the more I look online, the more puzzled I am as to why this guy has even been nominated for deletion - there really is loads of stuff out there. I have no interest in the genre or the person personally, so I'll just say that he has obviously received extensive international coverage, has done lots of high profile music videos going back nearly 20 years, and while he is pretty low on my personal radar, I fail to see why he is up for deletion.

 * Comment: I honestly did not realise there was so much coverage of this man. If this is the case, then it's possible the article could be extensively improved upon. We can keep the debate open, but I might personally change my mind about wanting it deleted. --EM64T (talk) 20:13, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
