This article does not meet Wikipedia standards

This stub reads like a press junket--it is a PR piece. I think it is biased and misleading. This director has a Wikipedia page as detailed as some of the most historical legends of cinema, and there is no mention of his work on the Brittany Murphy Lifetime biopic, which received considerable negative press. I would suggest revision but I don't think this subject meets criteria for a Wikipedia page. Can anyone else comment? Alanrobts (talk) 21:01, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BLP

Unsourced puffery is continually being re-added to this article by an apparent single-purpose account with a possible conflict of interest. Per WP:BLP, please do not restore unsourced content. Here's an example of what I mean: "Once Menendez arrived in Los Angeles in the spring of 1992 with only $200 in his pocket, he worked a series of odd jobs: from ticket taker at 'Universal Studios Hollywood", to PA on the TV series "Star Search", while scrounging together whatever money he could to make many short films. Two years later, he'd managed to work his way up to become a promo producer and editor at the LA based "Fox Latin America" and in 1994, at the age of 24, Menendez landed his first professional writing job on a TV series called CASSANDRA for the then newly formed "FX (TV Channel)" which was an American adaption of a "Televisa" telenovela, but the series was never produced. However, it did lead to HBO commissioning Menendez in 1994 (on his 25th birthday no less) to write "Cinderella" for their animated series "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child" (Menendez also wrote "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" in 1996 for the same HBO series)." Not only is this completely unsourced, it's also ridiculously cheesy, unencylopedic, and promotional sounding. I'm sure the main contributor has made these edits in good faith and it probably took a good amount of effort to write all that, but that doesn't change the fact that it violates BLP and NPOV policies. Article needs a lot of cleanup. Sro23 (talk) 03:32, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
