The result was   delete. Alf Laylay's comments accept that "notability as a director" can't be ascertained. If this were a non-BLP, my view might have been different. At this time, I'm deleting the article taking into account DGG and Clarity's views.  Wifione  Message 04:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There is a Harvey Keith who is the director of Mondo New York, a minor cult film, and the two even lesser films listed in the article. I can find no reliable evidence for the middle name, so I am not sure he is the same person. There is such a novel as The Eagle and the Sword,, but it was  was written by another person entirely, A. A. Attanasio a well known prize winning SF author. There is such a novel as The Tsar's Engraver; is published by what appears to be a vanity publisher, Firefall Media-- none of the books published under that imprint is in more than 6 libraries--most are not even in worldcat. This book, though published in 2010, is in only one library according to worldcat. I have been unable to verify most of what is in the IMdB biography.

If Keith is notable as a director, then the article should be rewritten from scratch to remove the unverifiable information, including the unverifiable middle name.  DGG ( talk ) 00:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * comment&mdash;i can't speak to his notability as a director yet if ever, but fwiw the middle name seems to be real, and it does seem to be the same person. here is harvey keith's entry in the directors guild of america registry, which has a link to the guy's official website (warning: super-irritating and loud multimedia) which does list the guy's middle name as nikolai (in the bio, which i can't link straight to), and is probably good for at least that info per WP:SELFPUB.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. The vanity press reference and his IMDb bio say his The Eagle and the Sword was a Hugo Award nominee, but I can't find anything that confirms it. Only one or two directing credits of any significance. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:32, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
