Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Avruskin
The references here are not |reliable sources for the purposes of meeting  — GNG does not just indiscriminately count up the footnotes and keep anybody who has surpassed an arbitrary number, but tests the sources for their ''reliability'' (e.g. you can't use blogs), their independence of the subject (e.g. you can't use press releases self-published by his own employers, or the directory entries of his own films in the catalogues of film festivals they've screened at), their depth (i.e. it's not enough that his name gets ''mentioned'' in a source, if said source isn't ''about'' him in any meaningful way), and the context of what they're covering the person ''for'' (i.e. you can't use Q&A interviews in which he's the person doing the talking, but not the ''thing'' being spoken ''about''). Literally the ''only'' footnote here that actually comes from a legitimately reliable or GNG-worthy media outlet is a CBC Radio hit (#9), but that's present only to verify a stray fact about somebody ''else'' whose name happens to be present in the text, and isn't ''about Aaron Avruskin'' for the purposes of actually helping to establish his notability. GNG requires real journalism about him in real media, not just any web page you can find that happens to have his name in it
