Meets WP:DIRECTOR obviously. Keep. His films received coverage in Variety, in The NYT, etc, etc. "Non-notable", how???-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 12:40, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I looked at this I was unsure. I found two in variety references:

[1] This one is an obvious interview.
[2] This one is an annoucement with a description of the production details. Its the usual film release notice.

It doesn't inspire confidence but he could be massive and I've just missed it and his film possibly. Post three reference and I'll withdraw. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 13:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His filmS. At least 3 are VERY notable films. Three references about them? That's a bizarre requirement. But OK. Allow me to post 4. ONE; TWO; THREE FOUR. PLENTY of coverage exists. The Reception sections of the articleS about his first 2 3 features should, in my view, have been considered. Even the article about him shows enough to demonstrate notability. But all is well...-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: there's a non-trivial amount of coverage about his films, including Variety [3], I think he's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 16:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I found articles in The Ottawa Citizen and The Port Charlotte Sun about The Painter and the Thief, and the Boston Globe about Magnus. Toughpigs (talk) 16:47, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
