Has worked on some notable media, but notable himself? Doesn't appear so. Another Sheridan College "Notable" alumni.  BLACK KITE  16:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * He received media attention in being one of the animators of the film Ryan, which won an Academy Award in 2005. There are two references for articles that are focused on Denovan. (I just now added one of them.) Also, he is often at least mentioned in articles that focus on the film, so he seems to be one of the key players in the film's development, even if he was not the director or producer.

 * Comment Ryan got made by director Chris Landreth harnessing the talents of a lot of Sheridan College students. In fact, Sheridan College got an "in association with" credit on the film, which I believe is a first for an NFB co-produced short. To be sure, Denovan is listed in the official credits of the film as an animator. But does that qualify as a significant contribution according to WP:BIO? It is not the same as Denovan directing the film; he was part of an animation team (his name appears first because it's alpha order). Are we then saying it's an exeception because it's an Oscar winner and so it confers more notability to everyone down the line? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes, I think that's a good argument--that for something really notable, it does confer some notability as an exception to not inherited--which after all is only an essay. DGG (talk) 01:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
