This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Grant Sputore, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

Comment: As you might know, the standard for notability is a little higher when about biographies of living people. Here, there's two primary sources and one secondary source from Screen Rant, which WP:RSP suggests is "marginally reliable", and not really a biographical article about the director. Given that notability isn't inherited by the works a person makes, there's just not any secondary sourcing here about Sputore as a person to currently justify an article. Please also note that the article will need a rename if accepted to Grant Sputore. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
