  • Comment: The references present here are all primary sources, not reliable source coverage. For example, a university professor does not get a Wikipedia article just because he has a staff profile on the website of the university he's a professor at, and a filmmaker does not get a Wikipedia article just because he has an IMDb profile -- he needs to be the subject of media coverage about him to earn a Wikipedia article for either of those things.
