Comment: James Fotopoulos meets .  The https://www.google.com/search?q=%22James+Fotopoulos%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1 coverage of he and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0288188/filmotype his works meets  and thus .  And while his multiple http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0288188/awards awards may not meet , so what? The filmmaker already meets the |primary notability guideline. His film Christabel (2002 film)|''Christabel'' has received the requisite coverage (even if most is negative) to meet .

I can appreciate someone thinking an addressable issue as artspam, but what sort of |search was made to uncover |available sources even if not used in these articles?  Yes, these articles needs work.... but deletion of improvable topics rarely improves the project. What makes a better Wikipedia is actually addressing addressable issues

Comment: both per improvements showing experimental filmmaker James Fotopoulos meeting WP:BIO through WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE, and film Christabel (2002 film) meeting WP:NF through WP:GNG. We really do not expect avante garde filmmakers and avate garde films to have the same level of notability of filmmakers or production by big budget studios. We |look for available coverage, |not required to be in an article and then decide, These are both keeps. See

Comment: Were the nominator to |try sourcing the article himself before nomming, he would have realised there IS notability, though not on the same level as, say, ''Titanic'' and James Cameron. Notability is not about sources present in the article, but about the sources |out there waiting to be discovered. Thumbs up to Michael for rescuing these two articles
