 * Weak keep I suspect that BAFTA award he won (for Visual Effects, with two co-winners) could make him notable. I will defer to anybody who is more familiar with the Film criteria, but that sounds notable to me. --MelanieN (talk) 02:32, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I believe the relevant guideline is WP:CREATIVE in addition to the GNG. That guideline doesn't mention awards, which makes sense given the range of awards out there and the difficulties in determining what awards and categories are sufficiently notable. If there were other sources, the BAFTA might bolster his notability, but we really don't have that here. From Googling, I see no reason to believe he meets the GNG at all, and since the BAFTA doesn't confer notability in and of itself, this doesn't meet the guidelines. A look through the BAFTA articles on Wikipedia shows that many Production Design winners don't have entries. Plus it's an autobiography, which seals the deal for me.

 * Delete. If the appropriate guideline is WP:CREATIVE, it is a difficult standard that Collins does not meet.LedRush (talk) 21:14, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
