David Krae

Can you tell me anything about him? What has he done? What else besides the Palme d'Or did he win? I want to help you to keep this page, and I don't want it to be speedy deleted. Just give me more info, and I will try to get it good. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

'The House' was Official Selection at the Canadian Filmmakers Festival in March 2006. It is currently broadcasting on Superchannel in Canada (www.superchannel.ca). He is a member of ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Television and Radio Actors) He is a member of CFTPA (Canadian Film and Television Producers Association)through his company Aquila Pictures

Also, for clarification, it is the Golden Palm Award at Beverly Hills Film Festival. Which is different from the Palm D'Or which is at the Cannes Film Festival.

Oh, alright. Luckily, I found a link on Wikipedia to the Beverly Hills Film Festival, so I removed the Palme d'Or link and provided the other link. Since it's on Wikipedia, it should be notable enough. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

After doing thorough research, I believe we finally have enough for David Krae to be kept. I think he is notable. Are you his official Wikipedia account? If so, that's so cool. If you wish to respond to me, just click "91093" on my signature, and press the + tab at the top of the page by "edit this page". Don't forget to sign with four tildes (~~~~)! See you around! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! I'm always glad to help newcomers to Wikipedia. I think it's cool that this is the official Wikipedia site for David Krae and/or Aquila Pictures. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hurray! The speedy deletion tags are officially removed, and David Krae's article will be kept. Thank you for giving me the information needed to assert notability. That's what ultimately kept it. Good job! I hope you can expand the article more, and good luck with everything! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with this. Much appreciated.

Nomination of David Krae for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article David Krae is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Krae until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 22:36, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I am not having a private conversation with you over e-mail about this. You will communicate with me in public, on Wikipedia, or not at all.

Firstly, the Canadian Filmmakers Festival is not "programmed" by TIFF. It has a marketing partnership with TIFF and makes an effort to not overlap with TIFF's programming, but is owned and operated and programmed by a fully independent organization and not by TIFF per se.

Secondly, I did not say anything whatsoever about the credibility of The Hollywood Reporter. But the problem is that you are not the subject of that article, so it does not singlehandedly clinch you as notable enough for a Wikipedia article all by itself if it's the only reliable media source in the article. In order to be notable enough for an article, you and your films have to be the primary subjects of several media articles — being briefly mentioned in one news article is not enough all by itself, and the article cannot use primary sources like IMDb, non-notable blogs like Torontoist, social networking platforms like GoodReads or the self-published websites of organizations you're directly affiliated with as substitutes for media coverage.

Thirdly, no, the Beverly Hills Film Festival is not on the Berlin-Cannes-TIFF tier of internationally prominent megafestivals. It's not nothing, and I didn't say it was, but it is not a prominent enough film festival to instantly clinch the notability of a person who is otherwise not well-sourced enough to pass our sourcing requirements.

Fourthly, even if you did clear our notability standards, you still do not have any right to write your own article yourself: we are not a free public relations platform for people to publicize their own work by writing about themselves, we are an encyclopedia whose articles have to follow our notability and sourcing requirements, and have to be written objectively by people independent of the subject. You need to familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules, particularly the one that forbids writing about yourself autobiographically on here.

And finally, whatever you think about "the years of professional slander in the Canadian/Toronto film industry" that you think you've faced, neither I nor Wikipedia have anything to do with that. I am not a person who works in the film industry, or even has any connections with anybody who does, so I've literally never heard of you before. But the article has rules it has to follow, it isn't following them, and Wikipedia does not owe you inclusion in our project if the article is not meeting our rules. We, again, are not a free public relations platform on which people are entitled to have articles, and our inclusion rules are not based on whether anybody likes or dislikes you personally: they're based solely on whether or not the article is following our rules.

That's it. And again, I am not discussing this over private e-mail. Bearcat (talk) 23:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
