- Keep and fix. Dittman is spoken of or quoted as a critic in multiple books and news sources... like a poor man's Roger Ebert. The project is served by this being better sourced, not by its deletion. Schmidt, Michael Q. 12:41, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. I have added some more sources to the article. Basically, the contrast between the frequency with which Dittman was quoted in movie ads and the obscurity of his work otherwise led to his receiving profiles in some reliable sources. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:38, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
