Fails WP:BIO. He's only a sound engineer, which is a minor role in creating television programming. Also obvious WP:COI given author's username. h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 20:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete. I don't think a person should be able to self-declare his notability. --Revanche (talk) 01:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - meets WP:BIO as a winner of a major award. He won an Emmy for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) And Animation. He has been nominated two other times for an Emmy. I don't know how notable the Cinema Audio Society is, but he has also won an award from them. But in any case, a primteime Emmy is considered a major award. The article is not in particularly good shape, and needs to be sourced, but the subject is notable. -- Whpq (talk) 17:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - I just had a look at the username, and the article may be an autobiography, so some WP:COI needs to be considered, but still passes notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • "Keep" - Understanding that he did not write this article himself, it eems logical for it to be kept because even though some people view sound engineering as a minor role in the film and television industry, he won an Emmy and a CAS award and was nominated for 6 more. If they think hes worth noticing, its probably true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockmesilly (talk • contribs) 03:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC) — Rockmesilly (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep per Emmy nominations; also been nominated for a CAS. I'll try to rewrite the article and introduce some reliable sources. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 04:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
