No independent coverage to establish general notability or creative notability. Notability is not inherited from subjects or otherwise. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:09, 18 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. I located this, but still, notability is not established.  Magnolia677 (talk) 16:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - After the AfD notice, I have added many references and included a comprehensive list of films directed by this famous director. Please check page before commenting on whether to keep this obviously notable artist's page on Wikipedia werldwayd (talk) 17:22, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: I've corrected the assertion in the article that Mr. Smith directed "most" of 50 Cent's videos – in fact the only videos he was involved with were co-directing with 50 Cent the ten videos made for each song on The Big 10 mixtape, none of which are particularly notable. The film I Do... I Did! which he also directed most certainly isn't notable at all... I can't find a single professional review of this film – good, bad, or whatever – and the article for it should probably be AfD'd as well. That just leaves us with passing mentions or primary interviews of his involvement with 50 Cent's videos and film, and the graphic novel he co-wrote – I don't see enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:DIRECTOR.

 * Delete Non-notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. Sources therein either mention him only in passing or read like press releases. sixty nine   • speak up •  02:21, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
