There is a strong question as to the subject's notability. While he has won some awards from a notable institution, these are shared and so I do not believe satisfy the requirements of WP:ANYBIO.

He has been involved in the creation of several relatively notable works, but I do not believe they hold sufficient notability to meet the requirements under WP:DIRECTOR.

If he does not meet the criteria for notability under any of those then I do not believe he meets the criteria under WP:GNG. None of the references provided in the article are suitable for establishing this (IMDB, TVGuide), and some are not suitable at all (docuWiki). A search does bring up a few articles mentioning him, but either he is the author [1] or is only mentioned in passing by an article discussing his current project. [2][3][4][5]

However, given the combined awards, programs and passing coverage, I am not certain he doesn't meet the required standards of WP:N. If he does, however, then the article needs significant work to bring it up to a standard reasonable for inclusion on Wikipedia. NoCOBOL (talk) 12:22, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep I'd say he pretty clearly meets #3 and #4 of WP:DIRECTOR (though I would have used the Filmmaker tag). He's played a major role in co-creating a body of work: Meerkat Manor alone qualifies him for that, let alone everything else. And he's won two Emmys for his work as a filmmaker.^[1] The article may not be great, but it seems to me that this is a clear case where editing would be preferable to deletion.
