Delete, I'm not really seeing a lot of coverage to show this gentlemen meets the GNG for creative professionals. Although the name is common so that may be clouding things a bit, opening a discussion on this person as to whether they do indeed meet the requirements of notability.

• Delete Not seeing much claim to notability other than the Camera d'Or award, which has no references, and the film itself has no article. Admiral Caius (talk) 15:18, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

• Keep Rotten Tomatoes[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ano_bisiesto/] lists numerous reviews many from well-known sources[http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/01/entertainment/la-et-capsules-leap-year-review-06302011][http://nypost.com/2011/06/24/leap-year/][http://www.timeout.com/us/film/leap-year-1][http://www.avclub.com/review/leap-year-57976] for Leap Year (Año bisiesto), suggesting it's notable even if it doesn't have an article. This article needs revision to remove promotional tone, as well as copy editing, but Rowe meets WP:CREATIVE #3. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:21, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
• Keep. Per Colapeninsula. Many reviews of Leap Year, here's one for his new film The Well (his "much-anticipated follow-up to his Camera d’Or winner") [http://variety.com/2013/film/reviews/film-review-the-well-1200945642/], and here's substantial coverage of his Camera D'or win [http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/aussie-scoops-camera-dor-in-cannes-20100524-w4bt.html][http://www.afi.org.au/AM/ContentManagerNet/HTMLDisplay.aspx?ContentID=11473&Section=QandA_with_Michael_Rowe_director_of_Leap_Year_A_o_Bisiesto_] --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
• Keep Award winning film director. He and his work have been covered substantially in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 02:46, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
• Keep = plenty of sources are available to prove he passes WP:CREATIVE. Many (but not most) directors of films are notable, while producers are usually not, even if they are involved in the same film projects. Bearian (talk) 23:08, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
