Draft:John Alexander (filmmaker)
| Submission declined on 11 October 2024 by AlphaBetaGamma (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Seems to fail the notability criteria, assuming the films are all insignificant given they are all not an article. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:15, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I merged the two articles as best as I can. The prose itself was (nearly) exactly identical and I just moved a couple of the references over and tried to clean up as much as I can. cyberdog958Talk 06:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please compare and combine these two drafts into one draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:28, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
 | It has been suggested that Draft:John Alexander (filmmaker) (2) be merged into this page. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2024. |
