Jonathan Sheldon

Prod declined due to previous PROD deletion. Reason given this time was "Non-notable film producer, little reliably published biographical information" Current article has no RS, just IMDB. Even if this were sourced, the current assertions clearly fail WP:CREATIVE. Jclemens (talk) 18:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Jonathan Sheldon, while not a household name, is notable on various fronts both as an author and producer. For example, he was quoted in a 2008 New York Times article on filmmaking  regarding his work with The Polish brothers as a producer, (for example, listed as producer of a notable movie reviewed in Variety  Stay Cool); he is also listed at Amazon  as co-author of 'The Declaration of Independent Filmmaking: An Insider's Guide to Making Movies Outside of Hollywood by Mark Polish, Michael Polish, and Jonathan Sheldon (Paperback - Oct. 17, 2005) with reviews listed in Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Notability established to my satisfaction. Jusdafax   23:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

NOTE: The original (poorly written) article on Sheldon now found at 'Deletionpedia':  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Pcap ping  11:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - I can find a small amount of coverage of this person's work, and all of the articles cover the subject in depth. However, I can find absolutely nothing on the man himself. As far as I can see general notability hasn't been met. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 16:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. The Polish brothers are definitely notable. The book might be notable. (Interestingly, the copyright page shows the book as "copyright by Mark Polish and Michael Polish" - but not by Sheldon, even though he is credited as the third co-author.) But he himself doesn't make the cut. There just isn't enough independent coverage of him. --MelanieN (talk) 07:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per MelanieN. Notability is not inherited from his work. I don't see significant coverage of the man himself.  Jujutacular  T · C 15:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
