Not notable student film maker. Outside the indiscrimitate local press he lacks coverage about him in multiple independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:38, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep WP:GNG holds that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Significant coverage is defined as when the sources address the subject directly and in detail and are not a trivial mention. This is the case for all of the news articles used in the article. You describe the press as "indiscriminate" and local; however, while the two articles from the Citizen are examples of local press, the articles from the Daily Globe, Marshall Independent, and KEYC are all large regional publications/media outlets. While Clerc is based within the circulation area of both the Citizen and the Daily Globe, neither of the other two publications circulate there. duffbeerforme, could you elaborate on which aspect of WP:GNG you feel this article does not meet? Ryan Vesey 03:41, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this, prior to creating the article, I ran this information by Go Phightins! to get a second opinion regarding the subject's notability. If he is around, perhaps he could elaborate as to why he also felt the subject met the notability guidelines. Ryan Vesey 03:47, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All from nearby down in the SW of Minnesota. Marshall Independent? Marshall, Minnesota, population 13-14,000. Papers circulation ~5,000. Large publication? I live in a larger town and see how indiscriminate our local paper is, not just the town but the region. Reading their article and that of the local affiliate KEYC read as very local puff, Young Windom this, Windom that, checkout what this local student is doing. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:43, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
