  • That may well be the case but it doesn't necessarily mean that the subject is notable. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it helps, these are the notability criteria:
      • Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities:
      • With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions.
      • Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
      • Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • She-Ra, Chiller Cinema as well as Creature Feature have a strong fan base both in the United States and Internationally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Wallace (talk • contribs) 20:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your IMDB link for Chiller Cinema doesn't even have a viewer rating because it has less than five users votes. Can you provide any other evidence? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The connection to She-Ra is tenuous and not notable. Also the claim that he won a competition to design characters needs to be backed up by an external independant link. The same is true of the Rescue 911 story. Alberon (talk) 09:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quiet Company Video on MTV.CA Also added links to the filmography on the main page to multiple IMDB links as well as music videos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Wallace (talk • contribs) 22:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep Retrieved sources in main article, also per notability criteria:
  • • • Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities:
• Listed accordingly in article
  • • • With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions.
• Listed accordingly per IMDB links in filmography
  • • • Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
• Listed as winner of The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards for contributions to Chiller Cinema website noted in the main article.Joe Wallace (talk) 08:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I still have a problem with notability. Of the feature films listed, for example, most are still in production, and the only two that have actually been released he was a sound recordist for, which I don't think qualifies as a significant role.

    • Comment While I acknowledge the effort, I do not think that the entry, as it stands, meets notability guidelines. In short, the subject has had no "significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions", nor has he "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment". I see no indication that Cameron McCasland has "a large fan base or a significant "cult" following". While I recognize that the subject won a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for his contributions to a website, but I don't believe this to be notable. I must add that I am troubled by the history of both Cameron McCasland and The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards. I note that both were created by Cameron McCasland (talk · contribs), a single purpose account. What's more, 68.53.171.99 (talk · contribs) and Joe Wallace (talk · contribs), two more single purpose accounts, are the the chief editors for these two articles. I respectfully suggest that all involved consult Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Victoriagirl (talk) 15:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment In writing the above, I repeated Joe Wallace's claim (above) that McCasland had received a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award. This would appear to be incorrect. The article states that McCasland "lent movie reviews and articles to the shows [sic] website, which won a Rondo Award at The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards back in 2005." The source provided indicates that the actual recipient was Dr. Gangrene. No mention is made of McCasland.Victoriagirl (talk) 20:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The subject has contributed to the article himself, and the entire filmography reads like a directory of Internet links. Notability may exist but is currently not proven. As it now stands, the article is not Wikipedia-suitable. TINYMARK 16:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
