The result was delete. Maybe worth a note on the pages for the individual songs but I agree he is not notable enough for his own page. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:35, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

This person fails the WP:NFILMMAKER as has only made one feature film that was panned by the critics. There doesn't seem to enough indepth coverage to cover the WP:GNG criteria and merit an article. Domdeparis (talk) 16:12, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG, as one forgotten movie and appearing in Bob Marley videos does not equate notability. sixty nine   • speak up •  22:25, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Jesse Lawrence didn't 'appear' but 'starred' in three massively popular and now iconic Bob Marley videos. One video on youtube has over 17m views and 34 thousand likes For over 10 years there has been speculation and debate on internet forums about the identity of Jesse Lawrence and a Wikipedia entry clears things up and makes them official. While his film The Knot was not a favorite among critics, it was reviewed widely, featured a top cast of well known actors including Hollywood A lister Mena Suvari received a major theatrical release in the UK and Republic of Ireland and is popular enough among a world wide audience to merit the involvement of various distributors and sales agents It also continues to find an audience on the itunes and Amazon streaming platforms. Jesse is a filmmaker of pedigree who has been picked as one to watch by respected trade magazines like Screen Daily Two of his shorts were UK Film Council backed - a film fund (now replaced by the BFI) which only awards to the most talented filmmakers across the UK in a highly competitive selection process - and they screened and competed in some of the most lauded and respected international film festivals such as the BFI London Film Festival This is a filmmaker who is already notable and whose notoriety will only increase along with his film credits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragner5000 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 18 January 2017 (UTC) note This editor is the creator of the article Domdeparis (talk) 10:38, 25 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment The videos are popular because of the songs that were performed by an iconic musician. No one's watching them for Jesse Lawrence; let's not kid ourselves. Anyway, none of the sources you listed here are suitable for Wikipedia (IMDb; a passing mention on randommedia; iTunes; internet forums) and do nothing in establishing notability of the article subject. Actors or directors working with A-listers does not automatically establish notability either, under WP:NOTINHERITED. The Knot (which has a zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes) was not given the green light because of the choice of director, and he hasn't directed anything since. sixty nine   • speak up •  02:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Article lacks independent reliable sources. Google and HighBeam searches provides nothing to establish notability.  CBS 527 Talk 19:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable and the references given do not establish notability. IMDB, Wikipedia and Youtube are not WP:RS. Gachangi (talk) 03:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
