Jody Eldred

Notable and an article could be written, but this is obvious a promotional bio that is almost certainly a copyvio, though I cannot find the source, and I think it would be necessary to start over   DGG ( talk ) 21:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete A lengthy, unreferenced promotional autobiography of a marginally notable cameraman and producer. No objection to recreation as a brief neutral biography.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  22:15, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete. It's fully promotional and serves no objective purpose. Ducknish (talk) 02:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment In acknowledging WP:NRVE, the subject appears notable per WP:GNG. I agree with DGG that it may be best to simply start over from scratch. But rather than COI, my own sense from the depth of background information included, is that that article author User:Ejody might be the DGA Award-nominated Jody Eldred writing about himself. An important note here is that there definitely are sources available from which a suitable article might be created. If this thing is suitably edited/improved/sourced before this AFD concludes, I would be happy voting for a keep.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 09:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - The material is likely an assemblage of press release material. See this web page (dated Oct 19, 2012 by google) which contains verbatim some of the same material in the version of the article nominated.  -- Whpq (talk) 22:13, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Quite likely press releases written by Jody, about Jody and containing the type of fluffy information that press release almost always contain .... and one of the reasons I think the article in its present state should go and perhaps be replaced later by a neutral and properly sourced article written by an experienced Wikipedia editor.
