Semi notable figure who strongly objects to the existence of the article SqueakBox 20:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment He is notable as a movie producer. And several of the movies he has produced have been notable. So I'd argue that he passes WP:BLP (and more so than Daniel Brandt), which would argue for a keep. However, we've got the other side of the issue. Is having the article more detrimental to the project than having it is for completeness? I'm going to have to think on it... Flyguy649talkcontribs 20:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This guy produced Natural Born Killers and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? There's got to be plenty out there about him, then. Might be a stub now, but that's an unquestionable indicator of notability. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notable. ¿SFGiДnts! 21:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with comment Are we discussing whether the article should be kept or not because of notability or because (apparently) the subject objects to it? If he is notable, as above editors have said, there's really nothing we can do, is there? I thought only marginally notable people were allowed to ask for the deletion of their article.--Ispy1981 21:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Non public figures. He isnt Oliver Stone! I dont doubt that he has some notability but not enough to be a public figure like Oliver Stone or Bill Clinton, if he wasnt unhappy with his bio there would be no notability or other reasons to delete but IMO his strongly stated desire that he doesnt want the article and his not being a public figure is enough reason to delete, and I also think given he doesnt want the article here the very least we can do is put it top the community to see if the article is wanted or not, and yes we absolutely can vote to delete the article, and IMO without having to invoke IAR, SqueakBox 21:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply The links in the article to the videos of him talking to a TransformersCon audience would argue that he is a public figure, though. Flyguy649talkcontribs 21:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Reply Its certainly an important distinction, but I dont agree that appearing in a conference makes for a public figure, SqueakBox 21:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep His impressive filmography list clearly (and easily) establishes notabilty according to all our notability criteria. Davewild 21:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, notability is fine. - CHAIRBOY () 21:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
