Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. References are either very brief quotes, single line listing, or do not mention article subject. Fails WP:BIO. red dogsix (talk) 21:15, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Not notable per WP:GNG and fails WP:CREATIVE. I can't find any in-depth coverage (although it's confused by the fact that there's a much more famous writer/poet called Michael Rosen, as well as a film festival administrator who seems to be a different person, and a property developer). None of his directorial projects are notable. And even though he's produced a (possibly) notable film (Murder by Proxy: How America Went Postal), consensus seems to be that producing a notable work doesn't automatically make you notable, due to the widely varying roles of producers and the fact that the media focuses on other more creative people. Also, the article on Murder by Proxy doesn't show notability. If anyone can find more sources on him, I'll be happy to reconsider. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:45, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above, does not support (WP:GNG). W i k i 92 man  (Talk/Stalk) 10:55, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep More sources/references added since 21 July 2015, supporting WP:GNG. As the Founding Executive Producer of the Archive of American Television he has made a significant contribution to popular culture history; this is a well-known and arguably important work. He himself, and he as his production company August Road Entertainment, has won significant critical attention by those in the independent film industry with his various awards. Passes WP:CREATIVE.

 * Redirect to the Archive of American Television. It is a big article but there is almost nothing in the article about the subject himself beyond a few sentences. It is a pastiche of information on the projects he is involved with and not a biography.
