 * Comment: As a film director, he would need to meet WP:FILMMAKER / WP:DIRECTOR, and the most likely criterion is #3, "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. His film TT3D: Closer to the Edge is a significant or well-known work, and is the subject of multiple independent reviews. Is this one film enough for him to meet WP:DIRECTOR? He has made a few other things (eg 2 episodes of a series), but most coverage is in relation to TT3D - apart from one article which is about him as the founder of a British drone racing team called Tornado XBlades Racing. There is a bit more that could be said about him, but I'm not sure if it's enough to warrant a separate article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:03, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to TT3D: Closer to the Edge. According to the specialty guidelines noted in RebeccaGreen's comment above, a single film is enough to make the director notable. The crux is whether his single film would be considered significant or well-known.  This is different than merely meeting Wikipedia notability standards. And it is subjective. I don't think that if Titanic were Cameron's only film, that would be a significant and well-known film. However, I don't believe this particular documentary meets either the significant or well-known. It would be one thing if it had been nominated for a major award, but I'm not sure that the British Independent Film Awards meets that criteria.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
