F. C. Rabbath

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be a minor filmaker who has won some local news production awards as well as some local film festivals. Doesn't meet WP:CREATIVE. RadioFan (talk) 20:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If the guy has many mentions online and interviews in a book. Not to mention IMDb seems to have accepted then how is that not worth a page on wikipedia? --Shawnjohn9 (talk) 20:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment IMDb is only considered a reliable source for one very narrow definition which doesn't apply here so it's not much good for establishing notability. Also, references to blogs aren't considered reliable either.  The ISBN number listed on the book claimed as a reference is not correct.--RadioFan (talk) 20:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Okay, I attempted to check out every single source given in the article. Ref1 is a local TV blog page which praises Rabbath's work. Ref2 and Ref3 both verify that Rabbath won 2nd place, apparently in a contest of films made by Florida students. Ref4 is a friend's personal website, which also praises Rabbath. Ref5 merely indicates that Rabbath shared an award for "investigative" given to a local TV station. I was unable to verify or locate the "Further Reading", as both ISBN's came up as "invalid" when I selected them. External link1 is the subject's own website. External link2 is an anonymous (by "Joe") mini-biography. I've spent enough time on this. There's no evidence that Rabbath comes even close to meeting WP:CREATIVE.

 * Delete As an editor who tried to help out this author with suggestions regarding the verifiability of his claims about Rabbath, I find that no further verifiable information is forthcoming. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * CommentI'm contesting this because i believe it's worth having a page for. In fact i'll be bring more references once i have more time. --Shawnjohn9 (talk) 06:23, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
