Matt Francis

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Bio article about a non-notable actor. Searching for Matt Francis, along with the name of one of his films bring up only 2 results: IMDB (which you don't have to be notable to get into) and the company's website. No media coverage. mboverload @ 05:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet notability requirements; no reliable sources.  This individual's self-distributed films have achieved no notice from any expert source.  Accounting4Taste: talk 13:11, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This filmmaker is incredibly influential in the state of Oregon.  His films have been seen at film festivals all around the country. Madameovary (talk) 01:28, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. No reliable sources establishing notability. Google News didn't show anything. Madameovary, if he's incredibly influential in Oregon, why hasn't The Oregonian written about him, and if he's been in film festivals, why aren't there reliable sources showing they have been there, and (hopefully) have won awards? In other words, WP:NFILM has not been met. tedder (talk) 03:01, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails notability. Aboutmovies (talk) 04:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment/addendum - I now say delete with complete and utter prejudice against any recreation of the article by Madameovary or any meat or sockpuppets that editor may or in the future may possess/create/acquire due to this edit. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:25, 30 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly fails to meet the standards of WP:BIO or even basic verifiability. Steven Walling  06:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
