Literally an advertisement, simply enhanced with equal advertising and that's not surprising given this was part of a PR advertising campaign. Therefore, I still confirm my PROD here as it still applies. SwisterTwister  talk  03:27, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

 * delete no evidence of passing notability guidelines; GNG claims to fame are for non-notable things. Basic WP:BEFORE turns up nothing actually about the subject - David Gerard (talk) 10:21, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a founder of a company is not in and of itself an automatic notability freebie, per WP:NOTINHERITED — it can get a person into Wikipedia if the article can be sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG, but none of the sourcing here does that. It's almost all primary sources, like his own company's press releases about itself and a chapter he wrote in a book metasourcing itself, and the only one that qualifies as a reliable source at all is just a glancing namecheck of his existence as a provider of soundbite rather than an article that's substantively about him. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes. Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment His main claim to fame is directing a single film, Pipe Dreams: If You Build It They will Come (1989). According to its listing in the IMDb, it was a direct-to-video film and lasted 45 minutes. No indication that the film is particularly known either, with less than 5 ratings in the IMDb. Does he really count as a notable film director?Dimadick (talk) 18:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
