Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mathieu Séguin
To be fair, there is a bit more real media coverage present here than the nominator has acknowledged — but it's all to his own hometown's ''local'' media, it all just namechecks his existence in coverage of other things rather than being substantively ''about'' him, and none of it adds up to anything that would pass  for the purposes of inclusion in an ''encyclopedia''. Furthermore, there's a direct |conflict of interest here, as the creator's username "Davidjosephanselmo" corresponds directly to the CEO of the same city's main film studio, which means there's a direct professional association between the subject and the creator. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which a cinematographer is ''entitled'' to have an article just because he can be verified as existing — a cinematographer gets an article when there's a substantive ''reason'' for one, such as winning an Oscar or a BAFTA or a Canadian Screen Award, or being influential enough in the field that sources are actually being written to ''analyze'' their cinematographic style, and ''not'' just for making a ''locally'' distributed short "civic pride in our city" video or speaking at the opening of a local high school's new film and video training program
