Autobiographical article about a person who has directed one local documentary. Some local news coverage of the person, but it appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:PEOPLE. WP:ONEVENT also applies here since the single movie is the only claim to notability. VQuakr (talk) 05:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Lives of Mount Druitt Youth. Delete – Notability is based on a film that appears to fail WP:NOTFILM. WP:ONEVENT applies. ttonyb (talk) 19:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ as director does not have the individual notability his film might. Now, I was going to suggest a redirect to The Lives of Mount Druitt Youth as that spammy article might be salvagable... but it's iffy. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:54, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Lives of Mount Druitt Youth, as the article is salvagable and I am doing just that even as I come back to opine here. The director may be BLP1E for his film, but many first-time directors are... so that is not really a black mark. But as the coverage he has is in context to the film he directed, I can save that article far more easily than I can the article about him. The redirect is now a decent option.

- Comment Taking my own advice, I have now improved the article The Lives of Mount Druitt Youth to make it a suitable home for a redirect. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect seems like a reasonable solution in this case since the film article now appears likely to survive. VQuakr (talk) 07:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
