Declining prod because there is an attempt to assert notability, being an Independent Spirit Award for Best Cinematography winner. I think this is enough to make it not "uncontestably deletable", hence me sending it here instead. As an admin I'm relitively new in these areas so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

 * Keep: The subject of the article passes WP:CREATIVE &mdash; the specialized notability guideline that, among others, applies to "filmmakers", "photographers" and "other creative professionals". The third criterion of CREATIVE requests that the subject "has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work..." and this subject passes this threshold by virtue of his involvement in creating the film Drugstore Cowboy for which he was awarded a major filmmaking award, the Independent Spirit Award for Best Cinematography. The subject has also played a major role in creating several notable films written and directed by Wes Anderson which attributes to him a notable "collective body of work" as per CREATIVE, again. To answer the nominating editor's implied question, I think you absolutely did exactly what you're supposed to do in terms of benefit to the project. By declining the PROD and bringing this article to discussion, hopefully the debate will bring about a further expansion of the article as the subject is easily encyclopedic. Thanks!

 * Keep: I think that this person has enough coverage in news articles, coupled with the mentions in books regarding movies, to confer notability.   Chzz  ►  20:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Rambo's Revenge, asking for community input when unsure is absolutely the right thing to do; great that you erred on the side of caution. Keep up the good work.  Chzz  ►  20:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
