The result was redirect to Woodstock (film). Never close on one !vote but like NRP I'm only finding sources on Woodsock so it does make sense to just redirect there.... so redirect it is./ (non-admin closure)Davey2010Talk 00:42, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a film director and producer, which essentially just asserts that (s)he exists and sources it only to IMDb with no evidence of reliable source coverage. As always, filmmakers do not automatically get Wikipedia articles just because they have IMDb profiles; they must be the subject of coverage in reliable sources to earn one. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source it better than this. Bearcat (talk) 09:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Woodstock (film). I found a little bit of coverage: [1] from KCRW and [2] from Arizona Daily Sun. There are also a few more trivial mentions in Google Books. But I'm not sure that all this really adds up to notability. The majority of the coverage that I did find was about his involvement in Woodstock, so I think this could be redirected there. Plus, if anyone finds better coverage, the article can easily be restored. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
