 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak delete Michael Schürger has indeed produced and acted in films, but I can find no sources outside of film sites like IMDB. His latest film, Far Rockaway, does not appear in Variety. Since he is also a musician, perhaps someone can find sources relating to that genre. Also, I note that there is no entry in WP:DE, although I also know that WP:DE is rather strict about BLPs and especially those involved in popular culture. It is possible that WP:EN is therefore seen as a more amenable WP source. LaMona (talk) 23:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Dear LoMona, what exactly do you mean by "no sources outside of film sites"? I'm really not certain, but I'm tempted to ask: Do you expect to find fish at the butcher's? Anyway, he is a link to a daily paper I fished out of google in a split second: http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/krefeld/schluff-film-in-new-yorker-kino-gezeigt-aid-1.3767428Budybla23 (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "... film sites like IMDB..." - IMDB is a site listing films, that anyone can edit. Therefore it is considered not a reliable source. There are other such sites, from Rotten Tomatoes to the "mashable" film section. So perhaps a clearer description would have been "social sites that list films and let anyone make changes." Does that explain it to you? LaMona (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know, not anyone but only the producers are allowed to make entries in IMDB, and they get carefully checked before published.Budybla23 (talk) 10:21, 14 December 2014 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. His most significant credit appears to be being a "segment director" of The Fallen (2004). Far from enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:04, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
