Jonathan Douglas Duran

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Probable autobiography about a non-notable filmmaker. Claims of notability surround Duran's involvement with the Mubi website, but there is no evidence that his involvement in this site is significant. Other claims to notability involve the Subvex film project, but there is not sufficient indication that that project is notable in itself. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, WikiDan61- Sorry if I'm not answering this in the right place. I'm still a bit confused about how to reply to these messages... That being said: This is not an autobiographical article, I am actually part of an independent film commission based out of Kansas City, mo. Called "Cinema KC", our plan is to submit articles on all local, Kansas City based filmmakers of note. We were under the impression that Jonathan was of note due to his work on a national level with famous avant-garde filmmakers (the exquisite corpse film) and his work with creating The Auteurs (Mubi) Garage site, which is one of the premiere locations online for independent filmmakers to gain exposure for their work. Please advise what we need to do in order to make this fit online with Wikipedias polocies if we are still missing something. Hopefully we will have a chance to finish this article later today. We've added many outside reference points to the article since our first draft, including IMDB info and national news stories both online and in print. Thank you.

 * Delete more or less per nom. Comments: He'll probably be a cult figure in ten years time, but doesn't look to be yet. IMDb isn't regarded as a reliable source here, as the info there is often subject supplied. Have a look at WP:RS to see what is considered reliable - avoid blogs and sites related to the subject. Working with notable people doesn't necessarily make one notable. By the way, thirty is a bit young to be a 'life-long' anything. That term is normally applied to people of fifty and above who have had more time to have a life without changing. (A lifelong teetotaller might be only three years old...)
