Delete, does not pass WP:CREATIVE, nomination for the award is great but winning is better. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * There are endless articles that have less info about people getting nominated for Oscars that only have a few films. Wgolf (talk) 03:07, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree there is but I haven't seen those. I'm sorry it's not personal I just happened to see this one created . Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:14, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, well there are more questionable ones I see all the time, mostly Bollywood people but I have no clue what to say about them (I added this guy after seeing a link for a DAB page so I decided to do it), there are far more questionable ones, this one should count as one to stay.Wgolf (talk) 03:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I hate bollywood articles, they are some of the most heavily promotional articles onsite. Holy cow you'd think those people invented the wheel the way the articles are written! Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I try to mark them but they always find a way to weasel around them.
 * Well there are tons of pages like this one but with less info, just go look under the visual effects :nominations, I tend to try to add people with more (like ILM people for example), but yeah this guy I :just did add. Wgolf (talk) 03:36, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Per WP:ANYBIO. Being nominated for an Academy Award would easily pass WP:GNG too.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:00, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Lugnuts the key to that sentence is nominated several times. This person was only nominated once and there is a lack of coverage in reliable sourcing. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 07:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Being nominated for an Academy Award would easily pass WP:GNG.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:21, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * To be clear is there a specific guideline I'm not familiar with Academy awards or is this a WP:IAR rationale? I'm just not seeing the significant coverage. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 07:36, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no specific guidance as such, but the Academy Awards are the highest accolade a filmmaker could ever be nominated for. Here are two similar deletions that ended in keep (note that I created both articles in the first place). Douglas Zoty and Paul Markwitz. They both follow a similar pattern.

 * Keep – Notable, minimally per Oscar nomination. Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 15:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per nom. The nomination is enough to pass additional criteria. A special effect artist may not get wide media coverages. Iniciativass (talk) 17:21, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Errr I nominated to deleted lol. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:59, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I have to admit, that did make me laugh too!  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 06:55, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
