Jeffrey Hornaday

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

COI, Unreliable sources including IMDB and references to Wiki pages. Fails notability, search on Google only brings up this page, IMDB, and Facebook/self-promotional websites Caffeyw (talk) 09:22, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by Nominator - Still have concerns. However, since it's pointed out the author (who's the subject) has asked for help I'm willing to hold off for now.  BTW Calling someone distasteful for a good faith effort isn't a great way to get them to agree to your view point.  Caffeyw (talk) 06:55, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * ...what? He has been nominated for two major awards, both reliably sourced.  Conflict of interest has no bearing on notability.  Google brings up tons of other stuff if you go past page one.  Bizarre nomination, and I must say I find it a little...distasteful to immediately jump in and AfD an article whose creator has just asked for help improving it at the Teahouse except in very clear cases (especially without making any attempt to talk to him first, or even notifying him of this AfD).  Seems like an easy Keep to me. -Elmer Clark (talk) 09:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Huh? The article has been around since 2008, and it appears to me that the person who inquired something at the teahouse is the article's subject.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 14:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

My Google results only seem to pull up results where at most a website says Jeffrey Hornaday directed a certain movie. After 5 pages in it seems the only stories I can find are of self-promotional nature. The way it's written seems promotional, and I don't think it's clear that it was being written by the subject. Sorry if you find it distasteful, it's not a personal issue or anything. I thought the point of bringing it here was to have discussion and come up with a consensus. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

 * Keep. I did a short search and found quite a few sources that focus on Hornaday. I haven't gone through everything, but there are more than enough reviews and articles to show notability for him. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:45, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
