Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samuli Torssonen
Are you kidding me? He produced, starred in, made the special effects for and edited what is most likely the most popular movie to ever come out of Finland. (It has already been downloaded at least 3.5 million times, as reported in Helsingin Sanomat, the largest Finnish newspaper about six months ago -- I wasn't able to track down how many more times it's been downloaded since then.) Yes, it's free to download from the internet, but that's not really the point; I think he ''easily'' passes  on the ''"Multiple features in ... national newspapers"'' front; the movie and Torssonen himself have gotten a lot of coverage in Finland. He's been on national TV more than once. He was just recently http://www.digitoday.fi/showPage.php?page_id=11&news_id=55949 featured on the popular and influential Finnish IT business web publication digitoday.fi over the deal his production company made with Hewlett-Packard|HP. He gets over 40 000 Google hits (and his movie gets over six million of them). I mean, what exactly are we debating here? This is not some guy in a garage who makes a five-minute clip of crappy lightsaber combat for TheForce.net, he's pretty much responsible for a minor (inter)national phenomenon. Seriously
