Fails WP:GNG due to lack of reliable sourcing online. Only substantial material that I could find on this animator was an obituary on a blog. Everything else only brief mentions about the work he did and little to nothing nothing about himself (thus also failing WP:BASIC). The Night Watch (talk) 21:00, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Walt Disney Animation Studios. A simple GBooks find does find coverage of his involvement in various Disney works and animated films, but they are not necessarily on the man himself. The interview in Walt’s People –: Talking Disney with the Artists who Knew Him, the first result, is simply an WP:INTERVIEW. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 22:03, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. A search found zero sources that show notability, just a couple of brief mentions. Subject fails WP:GNG and does not meet WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmm, what searches did you do? A Google Books search did find the WP:INTERVIEW source I mentioned earlier as well as his contribution, and his contributions to animated projects were discussed for more than a few brief mentions.

Relisting comment: Relisting. I'm not sure about a Merge to Walt Disney Animation Studios as that article doesn't contain any content about animators. Perhaps a Redirect would be more appropriate? Or a different target article?

Something like List of Disney animators? There are a fair amount of these animators that do not have sources mainly about them, but are heavily discussed for their contributions. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 14:26, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great, User:HumanxAnthro, if the article actually existed. We can't Merge or Redirec to a nonexistent page. Care to start this one? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:24, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just making a suggestion. That's all. User:HumanxAnthro (BanjoxKazooie) 14:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
