Delete, not notable. The article claims that he is most known for his technical work on the Superman DVD releases, which in and of itself does not appear to satisfy relevant notability guidelines. Outside of those DVDs, imdb says he edited or directed a handful of TV episodes. The WP article only cites to an interview with him that appears to be posted on a fan website; I could find no reliable sources online that discuss him at length. Online articles about the Superman DVDs and the new cuts of the films that I could find do not cover him by more than a trivial mention. postdlf (talk) 18:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, per postdlf rationale.--Karljoos (talk) 20:52, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - He is certainly mentioned with respect to the Superman DVD. But the coverage represents passing mentions with the topic really being the DVD.  The most substantial coverage is in the New York Times with some substance in the coverage starting on the second page of the article.  However, this is not enough to convince me of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
