WP:BLP of a television director and producer, whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. As always, creative professionals are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because the article states that their work exists -- the notability test for TV showrunners requires the provision of enough reliable source media coverage about them to get them over WP:GNG. The only "reference" present here at all is his IMDB profile -- but everybody who works in television or film automatically gets one of those, so that isn't how you bridge the gap between existence and notability.

• Delete neither evidence nor credible assertion of notability. (As to the IMDb: heck, I have an IMDb profile, and I certainly don't think I'm notable!) --Orange Mike | Talk 22:56, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
• DELETE Thank you. It was only a matter of time before someone was gonna propose deletion on this bullshit. But when I tried to speedy delete it, it was declined because of IMDb. Are you kidding me?!?! Delete this. Trillfendi (talk) 00:36, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Well, there are the multiple, easily verifiable Gemini awards. Even if you discount the writing award as being for the show rather than King, he also won a Gemini for his acting (as part of the ensemble cast) in the show. This article confirms his role in the creation of Cock'd Gunns: {{cite news|title=Wannabe rockers make good television|last=Reid|first=Michael D.|work=Times-Colonist|date=4 Sep 2008|page=D.5}} And many articles confirm his receipt of Best Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Program or Series at the 23rd Gemini Awards. Here's one example: {{cite news|title=Intelligence wins Gemini (too bad it got cancelled)|last=Strachan|first=Alex|work=The Gazette|date=29 Nov 2008|page=A.12}} Bakazaka (talk) 01:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
