Edward Bass (director)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable director and non-notable production company started by same. Claims to notability include films "which have been featured in every major film festival" without specifying any of them and, apparently, without winning any awards. He received one Golden Globe nomination and won a "Circle of Excellence" award for one film. Claims to notability seem to be related to notable people he has "produced along side" (sic) and notable people "involved in his productions". Frank |  talk  21:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Also nominating as having substantially the same content except it is his production company instead of the man himself; notability is not demonstrated. Frank |  talk  21:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral no opinion on this yet, but his IMDB page doesn't confirm the claimed Golden Globe nomination, in fact it doesn't list any awards at all. There also appear to have been a total of 12 producers on that movie. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * As IMDB is never suitable for sourcing assertions of notability, their not listing an award nomination is an invalid argument. For notability, we look elsewhere. Further, guideline acknowledges that a creative team might be found notable.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. As far as I can tell, the claim of a Golden Globe nomination is based on the subject's having been a producer of Bobby (2006 film), which was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Motion Picture -- Drama. However, the Golden Globes' web site does not indicate that individual producers are credited with receiving nominations in this category. I also don't understand the claim that the subject has produced "along side Stanley Kramer". IMDb shows no producer credits for Kramer after 1979, and he died in 2001. Bass has no producer credits before 2005. I'm sure there must be some explanation for this claim, but I have no idea what it is. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
