Ed DuRante
Not Notable. He has won an awful lot of academic awards, but as far as I can verify online he has had one short play produced, as part of a set of four, in an Off-Broadway theater (Playwright's Horizons) in 1995; and he had a (presumably) short play or piece published in an anthology published in 1996. (I wasn't able to find the other groups or venues he lists, although one of them might be a children's theatre group in NYC.) And he has made some short web films, one of which almost won a film award given out by the NYU film department. Maybe I am being a little harsh, but I don't think this guy merits an article at this point. --Brianyoumans 09:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete unreferenced article .given time, he could pass WP:NN Ohconfucius 13:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:BIO - no multiple non-trivial articles by third-parties, no national awards. Article is unsourced and appears to be vanity, and WP is not a free webhost for his resume.  I get only 71 Ghits for "ed durante" for english-only websites.  I agree, we may well be seeing significant things from Mr. DuRante, but WP is not a crystal ball.
