I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Bgwhite with the following rationale "Producing 30+ films makes him notable. A simple google search shows he has produced many films". Well, it's not the quantity but quality that makes one notable. And this is a problem - not seeing sources suggesting awards, critical reception, reviews... just being a film producer is not enough to be in a encyclopedia.

 * Keep per WP:NOTCLEANUP. Also WP:CREATIVE suggest that if any of these films have been reviewed by critics, then their producer is notable. Has the nominator done his WP:BEFORE? Newimpartial (talk) 14:03, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I found some articles about him, mostly in foreign-language media.. Not sure it quite meets WP:GNG but there are also shorter references in articles on other topics. Searching Belgian and French-language newspapers appears to give more results. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE. He produced more than thirty notable films, founded a production and distribution company, and received a number of nominations at the Magritte Awards. I've expanded the article to include more coverage about his work.	--Earthh (talk) 18:41, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, although it's a close call. Bronckart is legit, notability is the only issue, and the list of films is substantive in number and kind.  --Lockley (talk) 05:31, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
