WP:BLP of a filmmaker and web series creator, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. Although this was kept in a bludgeony flurry of repeated rapid renominations in 2011, our notability and sourcing standards have evolved significantly in the intervening decade, and the sourcing here falls very far short of where it would have to be -- it's referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as IMDb and podcasts and blogs and YouTube video interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person, while the two marginally acceptable sources (Wired and Ain't it Cool) are just brief glancing namechecks of his existence in listicles, not substantive enough to carry him over WP:GNG all by themselves if they're the best sources on offer. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of much more substantial coverage and critical analysis than this.
