John Matton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article's creator disclosed that the article has been deleted before under his birth name Johan Matton; see Articles for deletion/Johan Matton (3rd nomination) and Talk:John Matton. It looks like there are actually three past deletions and that a previous AFD raised some suspicion of dishonesty. I am admittedly not a film expert, but I think the new material concerns minor film festivals rather than contributing to notability. EricEnfermero (Talk) 04:45, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * KEEP (I am not an advanced wikipedia user but I know whom this actor/producer is from attending Long Beach International Film Festival this year, where he won the Jury and the Audience Award and I went to see his wikipedia.) John Matton has more than 20 articles and won many major awards - a news search for Johan Matton and John Matton was required because I was confues regarding his name but this person is very notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.3.98.82 (talk) 19:51, 13 October 2015 (UTC)


 * KEEP I created the article based on new information and wanted to be clear that the previous deleted page Johan Matton covered older material. The new awards won by John Matton do hold significant press and notability and he does cover some direct press and many indirect articles. I also had a look at his Swedish Wikipedia for more information since I'm half Swedish and speak the language. But the major contribution on the topic here I believe is John's position and involvement with Nordic International Film Festival which seems to be a fast growing community and organization with consulates involved from Iceland,Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark I see that the previous deletion of Johan Matton was mainly "too soon" and I believe the new press calls for a different verdict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.98.170 (talk) 19:35, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now Regretfully only one award-winning work is WP:TOOSOON for WP:NACTOR, nor does the founding of Nordic International Film Festival (only happened once so far) add to the notability for now. Plus for now all the awards are towards the film Till We Meet Again (2015 film) than Matton himself.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 10:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

NOTE: regarding last post: All awards are awarded to the Producer as of: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3943314/awards?ref_=nm_awd (All awards John Matton won is listed in the publications, since IMDb is not a valide source)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.3.98.82 (talk) 15:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Please close Afd Discussion should be closed as KEEP - Major significant and notable information was added after Afd discussion was created, the article was being built at the time Afd was created. The article is now completed. Article and subject is notable, if any concern a new Afd should be created.


 * Delete. He lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. None of the awards are major, I'll even call the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards a joke, a monthly festival that gives out ~50 awrds each month, a major award farm. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
