Romeo Carey
I question the level of notability here. I don't think this person is quite notable enough. Also there seems to be clear evidence of self-editing/vanity in this article. Google search returns 139 hits for "Romeo Carey"-- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 21:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete Although I believe his notability is not in question, the matter of citations and vanity does lead me to say delete.--Eyaw Nayr 21:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no real notability beyond that shared by the thousands of minor producers in the business. On the other hand, I don't think there has been significant "self-editing". An editor caled "Rcarey" made one small, bad edit, but it hasn't remained. -Will Beback 22:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, remarkably non-notable --Deville (Talk) 03:09, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. I spent two years at KBEV in the 1980s and even I think this should be deleted. If this stays then predecessor Dave Stiles deserves an entry after about 30 years of service. --Rob Banzai

 * Don't Delete, While Romeo Carey may not be a household name, he is rather well known in the independent film world. He should not be deleted! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.132.36.87 (talk • contribs).


 * Don't Delete, Romeo Carey has not only been a notable and positive asset to the independent film world, he has worked hard to preserve the legacy of his father and his studio. Google Timothy Carey and you will see the expansion of interest in his late father's work, all of it uniformly positive to the point of rapture. I have to question the motives of those who are criticizing the entry and what agenda they are pursuing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.93.166.174 (talk • contribs).
 * Comment. Has Carey won any awards, or achieved other objective benchmarks of notability outside of the independent film world? If so those details would help estabish the notability of this subject. Lastly, no ill-will should be assumed. Wikipedia editors create well over a thousand articles a day, so we need to establish some thresholds. A person's worth is not determined by their Wikipedia article. -Will Beback 07:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, No instructor, even if he or she is the son of a person who has notable distinction, should be deserving of their own Wikipedia page, without proven evidence of his own achievements that are, by Wikipedia's standards, worthy of being publicized as an entry. Mr. Romeo Carey certainly doesn't fit this criteria, as his accomplishments are, according to the Internet Movie Database and the Wikipedia entry, which lack sources, limited to minor roles in undistinguished movies and unremarkable standings within the entertainment industry.Honoring Mr. Carey's claim to a Wikipedia entry will validate that nearly all the thousands of success starved hopeful producers, directors, and aspiring actors and actresses, should deserve an fully biographical and glowing article which, as I quote Will Beback, will not determine their personal worth through Wikipedia. One may look through the list of Beverly Hills High Schools and find the names of those who have left a mark in society and continue to do so, for the honor of, not only their high school, but the world. Mr. Carey doesn't compete in the strata of Edward Tufte, Angelina Jolie, or even Frank Morris, who in fact, is a Emmy awarding winning film editor and whose Wikipedia entry is limited to three short, yet powerful facts, compared to Mr. Carey's long list of trivial self-success. It is his self-success, that should be limited to himself and his family, or his close friends, not for the world to see.Mrmanhattanproject 05:20, 4 May 2006 (PST)


 * Keep If the network is notable, I don't see how he is not. -Sparklemotion 01:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Mrmanhattanproject. This strikes me as non-notable vanity. Interestingstuffadder 02:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
