Hiro Super

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

The credibility of this is suspect by association with Kate Crash (see AfD above) it's by the same author,, who has posted some of their movies on Youtube, and Super and Crash are involved in joint projects. The sources are his blog, his Myspace page, "Hanger Magazine" which reproduces his blog, and links to his three films. I have not checked on the early part of his career, except to fail to find any trace of the "Rentaro Taki award" he is said to have won; but his claimed notability rests mainly on his films:


 * The short film Samurai Movie with Kate Crash, "which critics are calling one of the funniest movies of the year", and (in her article) "the single most important sociological and art experiment in the 2000's" - Youtube, 4:24, 103 views.


 * Hard Crick - "classic psychological drama" - Youtube, 5:19, 465 views


 * Blue Moon - "stylish cinematic experiment... much praised" - Youtube - 5:17, 241 views


 * The Spirits of Tuckavania: Finger Trap of Evil - "hailed as crowning achievement by major critics". To quote Super's blog on this: "Even though we deliberately chose not to go wide release with this one, because we don’t want the audience to think this is another mindless special-effect-filled fantasy extravaganza, the movie is generating significant buzz on the Internet." Youtube - 4:37, 164 views, 32 Ghits.

Conclusion: none of the grand claims about what the critics say are sourced or verifiable. Hype and Youtube movies without reliable sources do not show notability. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 19:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
