Non notable. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, has won a few bodybuilding titles he is notable in his field Callelinea 04:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * (have any sources? That could be helpful in determining notability) ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * NB Mike Torchia, a different person. THF 07:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Entry was apparently written by Torchia or a friend or work mate. (See COI noticeboard.) Taking credit for Spacey's Oscar is a bit much for me.  Just because he's been on TV or worked with stars doesn't mean he's notable.  -Jmh123 01:18, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. When the biggest independent reliable source cited by the article is a "miscellaneous crew" listing on IMDB and a "camera operator" credit on Hollywood.com, you know a subject is non-notable.  Winning non-notable competitions doesn't create notability; working for notable people doesn't create notability.  My mind might be changed if someone can cobble together a credible article from these puff pieces, but I'm skeptical that this would be anything but an orphan, and NPOV would require an extensive rewrite of the spamcruftisement feel of the current piece.
