Semi-advertorialized article about a filmmaker, referenced entirely to his own films' self-published production websites rather than any discernible evidence of reliable source coverage about him or his work to establish his notability -- and while about half of his films do have Wikipedia articles, almost none of them are properly referenced as actually passing our notability criteria for films either. There's only one film in his entire filmography whose notability claim is both clearly stated and properly referenced in its article, but even having directed a notable film isn't necessarily an automatic notability freebie for the director in the absence of a GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage to support an article with. And even on a ProQuest search, I'm just not finding much to improve this with: apart from one article that's actually about him, I'm only finding a few glancing namechecks of his existence rather than substantive or notability-building coverage otherwise.

 * Delete. Created 10 years ago, and still looks quite bad, failing WP:GNG. Likely a case of WP:VANITY or self-promo anyway. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:49, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
