Fails
WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in secondary sources. The article cites only one source and reads like a press release. While films and shows he's produced are notable, Steindorff himself does not appear to be. If a movie or show is notable it doesn't mean that everybody who worked on it is automatically notable by association.

Keep - Please see
WP:FILMMAKER. Article needs cleaned up and/or tagged but the person meets the criteria of FILMMAKER. --

My understanding is that
WP:FILMMAKER is considered "additional criteria" and that he would still have to meet the standard for
WP:BASIC to be considered notable, which he doesn't. Considering the apparent lack of coverage in secondary sources, I don't think its possible to solve the main issues with this article, even if some of the smaller problems (such as the article's promotional tone) can be solved.

It wouldn't make sense to have additional criteria that doesn't count for anything if you don't meet GNG, otherwise why have it???.

I suppose it's because meeting the basic notability criteria alone may not be sufficient to determine whether or not somebody is notable.
It's clearly listed under "additional criteria" on the notability page, with the word "additional" meaning it's supplementary to something else; in context, it's apparent that it's supplemental to the general notability guidelines.

Per
WP:SNG, Wikipedia articles are generally written based on in-depth, independent, reliable sourcing with some subject-specific exceptions relating to independence. The subject-specific notability guidelines generally include verifiable criteria about a topic which show that appropriate sourcing likely exists for that topic. Therefore, topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found, or if the topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia. And from the
WP:BIO SNG, beneath the
WP:BASIC section, at the top of the
Additional criteria section: People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. These are alternative guidelines for supporting notability, sorted into broad categories that can help guide research and discussion.

Keep based on number of shows he has Executive Produced, such as
Las Vegas, which was very popular on NBC. He meets
WP:FILMMAKER.

Comments I have reduced the content that did not have sources and added a few citations.

Keep: sources above clearly indicate notability. With articles were better sourced so as to avoid these noms. Be nice if people,would improve articles rather than waste bandwidth trying to get them deleted.
