Recreated speedily deleted article. 2nd speedy declined. No indication, despite the claimed credits on films, that he actually meets either WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. Username of article creator and article subject's "Brainy" nickname suggests possible WP:COI, as well. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:07, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can see no notability here at all. Almost all the refs are IMDB which is not a reliable source and many (most? all ?) are Wikipedia entries which are unacceptable as refs. Re-reading this I cannot see where notability is supposed to lie. The poor English also doesn't help.  Velella  Velella Talk 08:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and above. -&copy;2015 Compassionate727( Talk )( Contributions ) 13:11, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors. Searches on News, Newspapers, Highbeam and JSTOR reveal nothing to show notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:44, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I've warned the author about removing AfD notices and posting fake results on the talk page. There's one heck of a lot of career here and very little on Google - and most of what's there is social media. If he's done all that, it's been in very minor positions within departments. Wikipedia isn't like the final credits of a film where the Deputy Sub Under Director of the Broom Cupboard gets a mention. (We probably wouldn't even consider the Director of the Broom Cupboard as notable.) This looks like a misunderstanding of Wikipedia, or desperation. Either way, it doesn't belong.
