William Strobeck

non notable director of skateboarding videos. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 20:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I respectfully disagree. Strobeck has received press in major publications indicating his notability and artistry. See: https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/bjeyev/william-strobecks-new-supreme-skate-film-blessed-is-a-masterpiece https://032c.com/basically-ive-lived-it-know-what-i-mean-william-strobecks-supreme http://officemagazine.net/my-lovely-mess --Wil540 art (talk) 20:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Passes WP:GNG as he's been the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, e.g. Huck Magazine, Vice, Quarter Snacks (borderline reliable). pburka (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, the sources provided above are not sufficient for a claim of notability. The Huck source is decent, but both Vice ones are mostly interview. QuarterSnacks and O32c are both basically interviews, and neither is a significant general-audience reliable source. The Office article is a short blurb about his film. Overall it's not sufficient to indicate notability., per WP:N. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I added four more strong sources, also included a mention to Strobeck's art/photo show which opened at the end of 2019 --Wil540 art (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * With regards to the sourcing added on April 30: The source from Interview Magazine is an interview (primary source), the one from Complex is about the brand Supreme, it mentions Strobeck but is hardly significant coverage of him, the NYT one is about Tyshawn Jones, not Strobeck (again, he's incidental to the topic at hand), and the final one is again an interview. There just isn't enough coverage about Strobeck to justify an article - it's all primary-source interviews and incidental mentions in articles about other stuff. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I added 7 additional sources including reviews of Strobeck's videos and art show. The first line of the first article listed below states it best: "Bill Strobeck is one of the world’s best-known skate filmmakers." --Wil540 art (talk) 16:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
