The result was no consensus. I am not relisting this a fourth time as I don't believe it would engender significantly more discussion. No objection to a speedy re-nom should the issues raised not be addressed. Star Mississippi 22:08, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. While the article itself could be written better so as not to sound like a résumé or advertisement, I believe that the amount of references in the article along with the results of a Google search show that the subject has received enough coverage in reliable secondary sources to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. -- Zander251 ( talk) 03:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. The person is notable and article reflects that notability. Billshine ( talk) 20:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: More specifics, please? Why does the topic not meet BIO? Which results from a Google search indicate notability? Bare assertions of notability hold little weight when weighing consensus.

- Delete The SNG for WP:BIO that is most applicable to Evan Beloff is WP:CREATIVE. Per that he fails all four of the criteria. We can then fallback to WP:NBASIC to consider if he is notable per that. There are a number of sources mentioning Evan Beloff, but in almost all of them he is not the focus of the article and it is more of a passing mention where he is noted for being the director of a film and is thus WP:INHERITed notability. Interestingly, it does seem that his movie Just As I Am might be notable enough for its own page, which is why I am advising delete versus redirecting to Kosher Love. snood 1205 18:05, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Comment: I know I already left my rationale for delete above, but now that this has had a third relist, I would like to try to find consensus on this soon so it's not closed as no consensus. Do the other AfD particpants have sources or other guidelines I should consider? I am happy with my delete argument, but it's possible I am missing something. Tagging
Billshine and
Zander251 to get their input.

Torte 02:08, 15 January 2022 (UTC) - Searching 20+ years of media coverage about his films, I wonder if No Consensus is indeed the right outcome. There's a lot of coverage of his projects in major Canadian media outlets, nation-wide, over the years. Enough that I'd argue some of those films themselves should have articles - but they don't. But not particularly a lot about him. I'm torn. Perhaps WP:Director is a better standard than WP:BIO. Nfitz ( talk) 00:02, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
