Deletion of Will Meugniot

Comment: I fully intended to !vote keep based on the awards section but on closer inspection I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced that the 'International Monitor Award' is a major award and the snipit used to verify his Daytime Emmys doesn't tell me anything. Meeting one or more criteria of  or any other subject-specific guidelines  does not guarantee that a subject is notable

Comment: First, the nominate has simply fabricated an essential piece of the deletion rationale; it is absolutely false to say that "Notability is not inherited from notable works".  makes it explicit that the principle cited is "not always the case", and cites various of the creative arts as areas where it does not hold.  and related pages note repeatedly, in various ways, that creators of notable work are generally notable "without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Author#Academics; indeed. the typical way for establishing notability for creative folks is to show that they created or participated in notable works (, ). Second, the nominator ignores the well-established consensus for articles on professionals in the comics and animation fields, demonstrable through hundreds and hundreds of articles in the relevant categories, that documentation of the subject's work is adequate to sustain an article. Many articles may be in more narrative a structure than this one, but simply converting a list of credits into a narrative chronology is a difference in form, not substance. (Indeed, the nominator has created a great many articles on musicians which merely recite their notable work (eg, Jay Joyce)). Third, the nom's report that he can only find "name-drops" regarding the subject somehow misses the fact that the subject is listed as receiving two Daytime Emmy nominations http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0582798/awards (not quite so bad a miss as the time that the nom's diligent searching somehow missed an Oscar nomination in assessing notability, but still showing how ineffective his searching is) and somehow overlooks the fact that the subject has directed multiple notable full-length animated releases, which have been independently reviewed (eg, Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight. And, although the nom claims to have checked out Google Books listings, it's easy enough to find listings there for print coverage in the comics trade press (eg, Comics Interview 2, April 1983 http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/1867/1148953-comics_interview__002_000fc_super.jpg. A ridiculous nomination that should be dismissed without delay

Comment: The general requirement of in-depth coverage in , which is not met here, largely derives from the desire to have sufficient reliable sources to avoid inappropriate  weight and thus honor  and .  Some of our special notability guidelines carefully carve out, largely correctly, alternative guidelines which work well in specific fields--things like the named chair provision of  and as here, some   provisions of .  While I'm often dubious of claims of the significance of roles and/or movie works which themselves lack much in the way of coverage, the daytime Emmy nominations (and any independent reviews of his works, as noted by  Hullaballoo Wolfowitz above) each independently would to my mind "hit the bar".   Are we relying on horrible sources to show that?  I don't think so, even if the sourcing here looks weak overall.  Are the nominations verifiable?  I presume so.  Is the resulting article horribly non-neutral?  I doubt it. So, why not

Comment: Obviously, creative professionals are determined notable by their works.  The nominator's personal opinion doesn't not cancel out the subject specific guideline  which says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."  He is the co-creator and artist of one notable work, and has directed notable films and television shows
