Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a filmmaker, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:CREATIVE. The main notability claim here is that one of his films won an award at a minor film festival that isn't internationally prominent enough to clinch a free pass of "film notable because award" in the absence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about the film -- the award-winning criterion in NFILM is looking for major film festivals on the order of Cannes, Berlin, TIFF, Venice or Sundance, not just any film festival that exists on earth. But as in the film's article (see Articles for deletion/Food for the Gods), the footnoting here is leaning far, far too heavily on primary sources that aren't support for notability, such as IMDb, Amazon, his own website and the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with, and after that there isn't nearly enough genuinely reliable source coverage being cited to claim that he would pass WP:GNG. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 19:07, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete: Poorly sourced BLP. IMBd's are not reliable sources. Certainly doesn't meet WP:GNG. Jamiebuba (talk) 09:22, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NACTOR and WP:CREATIVE. We've been over this issue many times: that producers and composers are not automatically notable and are run of the mill. Bearian (talk) 14:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
