Matthew Marsh (director)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find sufficient indicia of notability on gnews or gbooks for this director. Tagged for notability for over two years. Epeefleche (talk) 04:35, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is nothing in this article that shows the notability of the director. It claims that Marsh has won several awards but doesn't list any of them in this article. The article for A Blind Perspective does list one of the awards, but it's a student award and in my experience those generally aren't considered to be notable enough to prove notability. It also doesn't help that neither of the links in the article are considered to be trivial sources at best and aren't reliable sources. A search did not bring up anything that would be considered a reliable source for notability either. He might make it big in the future but he isn't notable right now.

 * Delete - Congratulations on a regional student award, and good luck on the career but without coverage in reliable sources, notability is not established for this film maker just starting out. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - No significant coverage at in reliable sources, no major award wins. Rangoondispenser (talk) 16:29, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Note - I should mention, I've also put up a film of his at AfD, at Articles for deletion/A Blind Perspective, and discussion there may bear on the !votes here.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:33, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NotJustYet without prejudice for a future recreation if expandable and properly sourcable. The filmmaker himself has only two short films searchable, and I have been able to verify only one of the awards spoken of in the article. He is written of, and alludes to other awards, only on the website for the production company he created... but not anywhere else... and we do not use Self-published-websites to source assertions of notability.  While his film winning at least one of what could be considered a notable award might be enough per WP:ANYBIO, we truely do not have anything written about him in reliable sources upon which to build a decent BLP. Until that changes and we can actually share verifiable information about this individual, the stub article is unlikley to be improved or expanded. Let his career grow and him receive coverage and we can speak about this down the road. But for now, it's quite weak on WP:V, and THAT's the major concern.
