Assertion of notability is based around a short film Toys (subjects are the director and producer) winning an award at the "American International Film Festival"; this is sourced to http://www.aiff2010.com/. A similarly-named organisation states on their website "due to recent concerns" that they are not affiliated with this site. Otherwise, I can't find significant coverage of the subjects to establish meeting WP:BIO. January  (talk)  12:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: The article lists two films, both shorts, both of which IMDB lists as being in post-production rather than released. Both featuring unknown actresses who seem to have worked only with Connolly or in bit-parts elsewhere; plus all the non-acting work on these shorts seems to have been done by Connolly, making it sound like a startup operation rather than an established movie production company or him as an established director. There is very little about him online, certainly not in non-English movie criticisms. And the festival acclaim is on a page whose title is "ACME news" and whose organization has been disavowed by a similarly-named organization, so that one seems a bit dubious. So it doesn't sound like this person meets WP:BIO just yet. -- BenTels (talk) 15:37, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - That AIFF2010 website looks to be rather dubious, and there's not other sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
