This article is an autobiography, by a user whose edits are almost exclusively about himself. Although strongly discouraged, autobiography is not forbidden; but apparent use of Wikipedia for self-promotion makes us look hard at the evidence for notability, and I do not see it here. The article is neatly laid out, but the achievements listed are: director of two commercials; assistant director on two TV shows; music assistant on two movies; "executive producer" on one movie. "Executive producer" sounds grand, but the IMDb listing shows two executive producers, listed below the actual producer. The references are directory entries, with no substantial coverage, and searches do not find any. This is far short of the the notability standard of WP:FILMMAKER.

Strong Delete-I follow a simple quote by DGG (talk · contribs) in these cases--Any article edited by a promotional editor should always be deleted. This is the only way to discourage people from using the WP for advertising. If the subject is actually important, someone else will create an article. Rescuing it sends the message that if your write an unacceptable article about yourself, someone will very possibly fix it for you, and therefore you might as well try to advertise here.Aru@baska^{❯❯❯ Vanguard} 09:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of notability. I haven't found any sources either, and this is clearly a promotional effort. --bonadea contributions talk 21:09, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG; in addition, the keep arguments by the two users above have nothing to do with any Wikipedia policy Spiderone 11:00, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Executive producer of an unreleased movie is getting too far. Since he made the article himself, and even voted keep in the AfD, I would suggest him to produce a movie, before creating wiki articles.PierceBrosnan007 (talk) 17:19, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
