Deletion of Douglas Z. Doty

Comment: Sorry, but the nominator did not follow procedures set by |deletion policy, seen in his #REASON|failure to provide a valid rationale for deletion.  His terse nomination comment "no reliable sources" ''implied'' that it should be deleted because the article did not contain reliable sources... an issue |easily addressable through regular editing... and one that does not require deletion. His rationale is specially invalid in the light of other's  showing that |sources '''DO''' exist for this notable screenwriter whose career preceded the internet |by over 50 years. We do not delete notable persons who are no longer alive to catch headlines. Per the AFD forcing work by others, this discussion is now moot

Comment: The silent ''Romance of the Underworld'' is "is extant at the Museum of Modern Art". According to  #5: "The person's work (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." If we can find any other films held in museums it might meet ARTIST. This might not be so difficult since silent films are now often treated like works of art and he was a prolific silent film writer
