 * Keep – VanDyke appears to be the subject of substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources. The nominator's observation should have been brought at WP:BLPN. Having addressed some rather egregious problems in the prose – from markup style to WP:COAT, WP:PEACOCK, and WP:BLP – a clearer picture shows this subject passes WP:GNG.

 * Keep The nominator's assertion that the fellow is "inconsequential" seems more of opinion and less of proper reflection of numerous reliable sources that offer significant coverage toward this person and his activities as a journalist and filmmaker. The work done by User:JFHJr shows that addressable issues are rarely cause for deletion. Kudos, JFHJr... kudos.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Significant media coverage. Article needs work, but meets notability guidelines and has sufficient meat. Rishi.bedi (talk) 08:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - No valid argument for deletion exists in the nomination. Topic easily passes WP:GNG. See references section of the article. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:51, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
