No indication that subject is notable according to WP:CREATIVE, WP:NACTOR or WP:BIO. Even his IMDB is almost empty: it says he directed one film, is filming another, and had a minor role in a Sam Mendes film. Can't find substantial coverage of him online using English or Bulgarian spelling: references given only make passing mention of him in local theater and film work.

I am also nominating the following related article about one of his films, which makes no indication of why the film is notable according to Notability (films). I can also find no substantial coverage of it online:

 * Keep While we're not likely to find much English language coverage on a Bulgarian filmmaker whose main body of works were done in Bulgaria and without English-language release, searching under the proper spelling of his name appears to show notability under WP:FILMMAKER is met and the article sourcable with a bit of work with translation.  His body of work under WP:CREATIVE appears verifiable, and I am not at all impressed by a claim of non-notability due to an "unreliable" IMDB not listing this Bulgarian filmmaker's works. WP:CSB anyone?   Schmidt,  Michael Q. 13:05, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Allow me to clarify: I certainly wasn't saying that IMDB should be used as a yardstick for notability, quite the opposite. As noted above, I did search for his name in both Bulgarian and English, and what came back was mostly in Bulgarian. This was mostly brief mentions of his name in long lists of directors at film festivals. I could find no substantial pieces about him: just passing mentions. However that search link you provided above did turn up this and this and this. I'm not sure what went wrong when I tried to search yesterday, but it looks as if I might need to withdraw the nomination. Ruby   Murray  15:22, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Appreciate your reconsidering. Well done.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 20:22, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Nomination withdrawn - MichaelQSchmidt is right - there's substantial coverage about him in what appears to be WP:RS in Bulgarian, and he appears to be nationally known there. Still can't quite understand how I missed those references the first time I searched, but there it is. I'll make amends by improving the referencing of the article using the references found.
