Desired outcome: Forced-redirect to Smuggler (production company) with the edit history left intact for possible later use in the Smuggler article or other related articles. Reason: There is little or no notability outside of his work with that company. The opening section is pretty much all about Smuggler and its work. Even the one film with an article mentioned outside of the first section, Greetings from Tim Buckley, is a Smuggler production. The page has been redirected to Smuggler (production company) but reverted. Note: I made some recent edits to remove some but not all of the overt promotional-ism in this article. If this AFD fails then further cleanup will be required. The page about the other co-founder, {{noredirect|Brian Carmody}}, was redirected to the Smuggler page the day after it was created and that edit has not been reverted (yet). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:02, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
