Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Wade Edwards
Most of the delete !votes predate the addition of significant sourcing to the article, and they generally do not really address the subject's notability. As a creator of several quite notable projects, it should also be clear that available sources regarding the subject's work can also serve as sources for the subject's bio, since his work his, after all, an integral part of his life. Wikipedia has an unfortunately sizeable cadre of editors who believe that celebrity journalism is the highest form of the craft, and that creators who simply create substantive, admirable work, especially those who work behing the camera, should be subordinated here to the unstable exhibitionists whose chaotic personal lives populate supermarkets tabloids and their slick-paper successors, even though the former provide much more traditionally encyclopedic value. The ''Film Threat'' interview is relatively lengthy and quite substantive; the Savannah newspaper is also substantive and nontrivial. There are also significant sources which identify the subject simply as "Jay Edwards" which slipped through the very cursory  pretense underlying the nomination, such as https://mediamikes.com/2011/11/interview-with-jay-edwards/ and https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/14/indie-report-stomp-shout-scream-5
