:I added a bit to the article, with a link to a New York Times article confirming the information. Anyone who has played a significant part in notable work is notable. Dream Focus 03:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep. Won 2 Emmys, nominated for a bunch more[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454660/awards], passes under WP:ANYBIO.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep per Arxiloxos. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per an incredibly prolific career as director[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454660/filmotype] and award wins and nominations[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454660/awards] that far surpass the instructions of WP:ANYBIO. With respects, a nomination that simply states "fails notability" seems indicative of a lack of due diligence before nominating. What we have here is an article in need of expansion and sourcing, not deletion. Another possible DYK for a 5x + expansion just waiting on the horizon. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:30, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
