Robert Jason (television)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Despite receiving an Emmy for directing a documentary, this person does not appear notable per the notability guideline for biographies. I Googled for sources using the term "Robert Jason" television. Google Books hits seemed to be false positives / brief mentions, Google News hits were brief mentions of him directing an upcoming documentary produced by Janet Jackson, while Google News archives hits were also false positives / brief mentions. The notability guideline for biographies specifically states that well-known awards make people more likely to be notable, but do not guarantee notability, and I feel that Jason lacks the independent, reputable coverage necessary to be the subject of an encyclopedia article.

Robert created VH1 reality show Transform me and the Style Network documentary "Born Male Living Female", now he is producing the Janet Jackson documentary ""Truth", this 3 shows are about transgender people, he is making a great contribution to transgender rights. However he is a well known filmmaker but I need some hours to populate the article with references, external links, and more info about his career. Please allow me to work on this the next 48 hours so you will have more information to evaluate his notability. Unfortunately "Robert Jason" is a common name so google is not a good tool to evaluate his reputation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidyjimenez (talk • contribs) 01:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
