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]

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] - Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 00:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Deleteas 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. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- 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]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- 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]
