Mason Novick

No evidence of individual notability, he has co-produced films with Diablo Cody but there is little evidence of what he has done, other than put his name to productions. Darrenhusted (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. He is an officially credited producer for Juno and was nominated for the Producers Guild of America and Academy Award for Best Picture and and won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Film. I'm not always clear on what various producers do, but could verify the awards and nominations, by which makes him notable. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:00, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * As you have no idea of what he actually did or does then how can he meet the GNG? Other than a suggestion to Diablo Cody to write a screenplay there is no evidence that he has actually done anything. There are a number of times when a producer is named on an award as a favour rather than a testament to anything they did. With no clear idea of what he has done (most sources only mention his name in passing) then how is he notable? Notability is not inherited. Darrenhusted (talk) 23:31, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Darren you are sadly confused and your statement is silly and wrong. It was long ago decided (see Don Murphy vs Wikipedia and teh world) that producers are noteworthy and deserving of their own article.  I see you edited Don Murphy today saying there was no such film even though, oddly, THE CITATION SAYS THERE WAS.  You need a time out young husted ItsWhatYouKnow (talk) 01:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC) — ItsWhatYouKnow (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take a step back, did you even look at what I took out? Torso (2009 film) leads to a redirect that goes to a non-existent section link on David Fincher's article. So I suggest, "ItsWhatYouKnow" that you go make a contribution before addressing me. And as for "producers are notable", since when did we ignore the WP:GNG for a blanket inclusion of anyone whose name gets listed under the word "producer". Don Murphy does not make Mason Novick notable. Darrenhusted (talk) 08:41, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You take a step back- you are opening up a situation that has been handled before. Don Murphy is never listed alone as a producer.  Don Murphy hasn't won any awards.  Don Murphy has asked to be let out of the Wiki.  Yet he has lost multiple AFDs because Producers are held to be notable.  So you are WRONG, dangerously so when you say Don Murphy does not make Mason Novick notable.  Notice NO ONE agrees with you? ItsWhatYouKnow (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Each article is measured on its own merits, and that one person is notable has nothing to do with another person being notable. Darrenhusted (talk) 19:37, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Multiple MAJOR award-winning film producer. Article needs expansion, not deletion. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 07:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Major award winner and nominee, how he could possibly be considered non-notable is beyond me.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Academy Award nominated producer. There's really no higher way of demonstrating that a given Hollywood producer is considered notable by his peers. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Picture is a sure sign that a person is notable as a movie producer. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * SNOW Keep wildly inappropriate nomination (& in fact, it had prev. been nom. for a speedy!). Not all producers are notable, but this one certainly is.     DGG ( talk ) 16:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
