Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Cryan
Firstly, television writers are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles the moment they've had one writing credit — the notability test for television writers is evidence of ''significance'', such as getting an Emmy or Canadian Screen Award nomination for their writing, not just evidence of existence. Secondly, he hasn't actually written real episodes of either ''Veep'' or ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'': those were ''spec'' scripts that he sent to the Simpsons as writing ''samples'', not episodes that either of those series actually filmed or aired — so neither of those shows are relevant to his notability or lack thereof at all, because he does not actually have genuine writing credits on either show. Thirdly, the notability test is also not passed just because the person gets a tiny blip of "local guy does stuff" in his own local media; note as well that the ''IFP.ca'' and ''Toronto Star'' hits are the ''same'' article by the ''same'' journalist, but the same content being reaggregated in two sister publications co-owned by the same company is ''one'' data point toward GNG, not two separate ones (see , specifically the section titled "Reprints"). So no, writing one actually-produced-and-actually-aired episode of one TV series is not automatically enough in and of itself, and neither the volume nor range of coverage he got for it add up to enough to get him over  in ''lieu'' of having to achieve anything that would pass our actual notability tests for television writers. If he gets an Emmy nomination in the fall for it, then maybe things will be different
