Jay Blanchard (filmmaker)
While reverting some sneaky vandalism done to my user page, I checked the vandal's edits. There I found this page, and as the person mentioned seemed unnotable, I nominated him here. Note: The name gets a lot of google hits, but they seem to be for other Jay Blanchards, such as the state senator or the professor. Scimitar 15:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep-- This is a legitimate entry. The above statement is incomprehensible & seems like more of a revenge vote than an actual dismissal of the page. Jay Blanchard's work can be found online, as well as much of his writing about experimental film, which has published domestically and internationally. I don't think a simple Google search for a common name should be a measure of importance. User:CMarker12 15:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC) (the previous comment was actually made by 166.19.102.20.

 * A lot of people's work can be found online, but anyone can put films or websites up nowadays. He appears to be just another guy with his camera. And there's thausands of similar people, and nothing to distinguish him from the others. (see solah films and 54 hours film). Unless you can provide evidence he's famous, or otherwise important delete. Mgm|(talk) 18:09, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Umm...genius? The solahfilms website you linked to is Jay Blanchard's site. And he is a member of the 54-hrs. collective. If anyone can "pick up a camera and make a film", try it. What a joke. comment made by anon166.19.102.20 Sign your votes please.--Scimitar 19:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - No IMDB entry and Google gets no hits for the films he's apparently made, so he's not encyclopedic. --FCYTravis 19:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
