WP:BLP of a film director and producer, whose only stated claim of notability is that he and his work exist and whose only sources are the self-published websites and press kits of his own work. As always, filmmakers do not get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because their own primary source web presence technically verifies that they exist -- they have to actually attain a distinction that passes WP:CREATIVE, and they have to be reliably sourced to media coverage about them in references they didn't publish themselves.

• Delete not every film director is notable, and that is about the standard that would be needed to make Sit notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to The Pharmacist (2010 film) for now, his best known work. Has received some coverage but not yet independently notable from his award winning film. FloridaArmy (talk) 09:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and then merge to the movie article. -The Gnome (talk) 13:12, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Fails WP:CREATIVE / WP:PROMO. Associated with one blue-linked production, which is only marginally notable itself. Unlikely to be a valid seach term so a redirect is unnecessary. There's nothing usable in the article to merge, and the target article would not be improved by adding info on the subject to is, so I would oppose merge.

• delete even though Edmonton's Sit wins screenwriter's prize won $25,000 prize 2003. not quite enough. E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:03, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
