Sam I Barber

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This film producer, director, screenwriter and editor, who is credited in the article with being responsible for The Blair Witch Project, was actually the pre-production supervisor for that film. His only other credit on IMDb is producing Concert for AmericaI (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298281/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_1) for which IMDb had no information. I speedied this article but the tag was removed and it was suggested that AfD was a better venue for considering this article's deletion. Liz Read! Talk! 17:44, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - One work and even his IMDb only shows two things and there's not much info there; my searches found results such as this but it's obvious there's not independent notability for an article. This could've even been PROD'd but it's nice to have consensus to give it weight. SwisterTwister   talk  21:21, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I was acting based on this edit summary (diff) and since the speedy tag was removed, I don't think a PROD tag would last 7 days. And I think a discussion here will confirm my original assessment.
 * The one solid mention in your Google search is from The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, Volume 11 and states a Florida producer named Sam Barber claimed that he was cheated out of an executive producer's credit on Blair Witch. I think this Wikipedia article might be a way to claim that credit. Liz  Read! Talk! 13:27, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * PROD might have been fine, I only declined the speedy because the article stated he was known for "co-authoring and initiating production" on a notable film, making for a credible claim of significance. Sam Walton (talk) 15:48, 22 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt was 86-ed by me on copyvio grounds originally, now its an article with no credible claim of significance. TomStar81 (Talk) 21:52, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
