Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaun Phillips (director)
Unfortunately, most of what Bh1967 mentions as reliable sources do not fit the Wikipedia standard. As I said, Film Threat is a RS. NewFilmMakers.com, however, is basically a self-promotion and distribution site for filmmakers, and thus is not independent. PressBox is just a site for uploading press releases, and the KSLX report just quotes from one of those press release sites. Other citations from RS like USA Today do not mention Phillips. I think we can grant that Phillips did direct what the article says he directed, but that is not the issue: the question is whether that makes him notable. Brief mentions that a documentary short has played here and there does not constitute "significant coverage" per . Even the "much publicized free internet viewing" was publicized only through self-produced press-releases, not independent coverage. Even if he has worked with famous people, notability is not necessarily inherited. Bh1967 has valiantly tried to add more and more sources, but the fact not one of them is a detailed article on Phillips himself is telling
