 * Keep. There is actually substantial coverage of him in national press about the events surrounding the ESPN 30 for 30 special (See and ). However, he is also known for more than just a single event (See  and ). According to this and other sources, he also founded a now defunct record company. All in all, he passes general notability. CesareAngelotti (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Those sources are about the same documentary and mere mentions rather than anything substantial. The documentary well may be notable, but that doesn't mean that the director automatically is. Similarly, coverage of the record company is pretty thin on the ground itself, and there doesn't appear to be anything specifically discussing his role in founding it.
