There is no independent sources regarding his notability or even of his blog. The sources are all primary sources linking to his films or generic links to the NY Times about his bit parts in films. Ricky81682 (talk) 18:00, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Redirect to Mozart and the Whale . Only real hit in several databases (including Long Island newspaper Newsday archives) was this Business Wire news release, so I'm going with no significant coverage. However, his name is a fine redirect term as he has several producer credits on WP. Mozart is the most prominent film in the aforementioned link that can verify this type of producer credit, so redirect there. czar ♔   04:56, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that be a bit odd? If there's an article with a link to his biography, such as Ninja: Shadow of a Tear, a link to that film doesn't make a lot of sense. It doesn't really fit WP:POFRED. If there was a production section about him or something, maybe, but a link would more confusing than helpful in my view. The red link may in fact be better per WP:REDLINKS. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:00, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redlinking indicates that it should be made in the future, which wouldn't be a good choice since we've just established that there wouldn't be sufficient sourcing. There's not much on DeMartini in Mozart now, but based on the sources I saw, that is where he would be mentioned the most. As for POFRED, it also doesn't appear to be all-inclusive, because it says nothing about the common practice of redirecting individuals to notable works with which they associate. I think the redirect is a better option than deleting the page outright. Not sure where you say Ninja links to his biography czar ♔   15:52, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * This said, I took another look at those sources to see what I could add fast and it's press release-y and behind a paywall, so not helping anyone. (E.g., "Millennium Films Announces Five-Picture Deal with Producers Frank DeMartini and James Acheson". 2004. Business Wire.) There's also an architect in the NJ tristate area by the same name, which leads to some confusing hits. I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect in the future with a substantial mention, which I still think would be preferred, but given that I've already spent another 20 minutes on this and don't have a worthy blurb to add, I think you're right that it's fine to delete for now. czar ♔   16:07, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
