Despite the huge quantities of text in this article, the subject's only claim to fame is a local arts award and a movie that went straight to video. The movies that he claims to have had 'small parts' in don't list him in the credits, so they must have been very small parts indeed. The blue links to his movies are all links to something else with the same name. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete: His only IMDB activity stems from an obscure indie flick which he wrote and produced himself. He claims to have won an award from a local alternative weekly paper, but there is no evidence that he actually did, or of any other of the grandiose claims made of the stars and big shots with whom he allegedly worked or the commercials and movies he allegedly made.  Given the amazing puffery of the article (for instance, Bora is described as having "lost" the role of Zorro in the recent eponymous movies to Antonio Banderas), I'm not surprised that in the 85 unique G-hits Bora elicits, almost all are from wannabee celeb-watch websites into which Bora seems to have inserted his name.

 * Strong delete. Despite all the lofty claims made in this article, IMDb thinks otherwise. I'd almost consider this a WP:HOAX. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
