The subject of this article is notable. Reasons: 1. passes the Google Test, with 25,000 hits on the name: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=%22michael+w.+dean%22&btnG=Google+Search
2. Subject has had Significant Coverage from Reliable Sources and secondary sources, (Variety Magazine, VH1, Make magazine, has three published books with a major educational publisher, has had films in major international festivals (Deauville festival http://www.lepublicsystemecinema.fr/en/fiches/fiche_film.asp?id=216 and Revelation Perth International Film Fest http://www.revelationfilmfest.org/index.cfm?objectid=B1C03D1B-65BF-EBC1-23A60368DB203516 ), NPR, and his books are taught in several colleges and high schools.
3. Article does not, in my opinion, read like an advertisement. This is, of course, a subjective matter, but I believe that it is objective, and the article has stood for two years, and one person is now calling for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ElizaBarrington (talk • contribs) 10:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
