Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shawn Welling (2nd nomination)
There is a long thread upstream, so I thought it may be useful to summarize the key points to see where we stand and hopefully reach some consensus.  It appears that the primary claims for notability for Welling are his "award winning" movies and his "world-class" choreography.  To evaluate the awards there is a debate as to if the awards are actually notable awards.  People seem to take two views of the notability of the awards.  One line is arguing that it is a notable festival, so the award is notable.  The other argues that regardless of the notability of the festival, there are too many awards for a single award to be notable from that festival.  This is a fairly easy point to resolve.  If the fact that Welling got the award is actually notable, then there should be reliable independent coverage of such award.  If we can turn that up the point will be resolved.  To this point several of us have been looking (and it appears quite hard), yet have not found independent reliable source coverage of him receiving any awards.  Let's find those instead of debating it in theory.  Regarding his "world-class" choreography, let's use the same test.  Let's find independent reliable source coverage discussing him (not discussing the troupe he started, as that would be excellent material for an article about the troupe, but not about him as notability is not inherited).  The material that has turned up so far about his choreography has been mostly non-independent selfpubs - be it links to his own website, or links to businesswire that display a press release he issued.  Let's focus on finding a few sources instead of just theorizing.  If we can find good independent reliable source coverage of him, then he will pass the notability test.  If not, then it really appears it is a case of
