    The disambiguation page for the primary name is Christopher McDonald (disambiguation). Robert McClenon (talk) 04:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Biographical notability- it is bizarre. I am asking editors to pay more attention to the draft. I understand that there are many spam pages on Wikipedia submitted for the review. I attended the talks of this person and was surprised there is no page about him. the person is a talent booker of prominent figures. He received an Emmy award for his notable work as a producer which is one of the most important awards in the field. As producer and talent booker he manages a range of other prominent shows as attached, all have wikipedia pages. He is also co-funder of the famous company within the entertainment industry called Impact Theory.
