Can't find anything that would show this person as notable, checked the sources, but there may be more out there for his 3 films? Dollface Canon (talk) 06:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication that any of his films are actually significant. He comes no where near passing GNG. One article quotes him in one line, the other it is hard to see that it is much better since it is about a TV show he is involved in making the pilot, about the show and not about him. IMDb clearly does not count towards GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:31, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing here constitutes a strong claim of notability under our inclusion rules for film directors (which do not confer automatic inclusion rights on every film director who exists at all), none of the referencing is strong enough to pass WP:GNG, and the article strikes a highly advertorial tone about how wonderful and masterpiecey his work is in defiance of our WP:NPOV rules. And there's no evidence on either Google News or ProQuest of the improved coverage it would take. No prejudice against recreation in the future if something changes (e.g. he gets nominated for a Canadian Screen Award), but nothing written or sourced here right now is enough.
