The result was   speedy keep. I agree WP:SK 1. No arguments for deletion. However, since this all seems to be over the tag, I would urge anybody wishing to add the tag back renominate instead. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Notability Concerns CooperDB (talk) 11:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I nominated this for AFD as another editor has raised notability concerns and I would like community input before persuing sourcing issues that have been raised. Although I do agree that there are a lack of secondary sources, I think the subject meets the additional criteria layed out in WP:PEOPLE. Specifically, the subject has awarded "Best Local Filmaker" by a Montreal newspaper (a reliable source) thus meeting the criteria of winning a significant, albeit local, award. Second, although only reported in sources unsuitable for Wikipedia as far as I can find (IMDB, an industry blog]), the subject was co-writer of a notable television production, The Foundation (TV series). Finally, the subject has written for notable publications, and is a regular on a nationally (CBC) and internationally syndicated (PRI) radio show. CooperDB (talk) 11:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Personally I think the other user should have nominated this or put a tag on the article, now what I don't understand is if you think it should be kept why'd you nominate it?  Jay Jay Talk to me 19:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I made this nomination to get community input and a consensus that the subject is indeed notable. In my estimation the subject meets WP:PEOPLE but there is a lack of multiple independent reliable sources so I like to see if the community agrees that it is notable and worth the continued effort of maintaining. If the community decides it should be deleted I can spend my time working elsewhere. CooperDB (talk) 20:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay well your nominating your own article for deletion, just because someone tagged it as unclear notability doesn't mean anything. If you would like to find out if your article is notable there's a place for that WP:N/N  Jay Jay Talk to me 20:09, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. In seven days or less there will be a decision by the community one way or another as to the notability of the subject. It has been a while since I participated in an AFD, but several times I have seen AFDs initiated by someone who believes an article should be kept and there is no policy forbidding this that I am aware of. If this against some recent policy I am ignorant of please bring it to my attention and I will respond accordingly. CooperDB (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Procedural Close - There has been no call for deletion by anybody, including the person who tagged the article for notability. A notability tag indicates that the subject might not be suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, but allows for other editors to try to improve referencing to establish notability.  So why not let editors try to improve? -- Whpq (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
