You did not give a reason for removing that Shagan comment. Steve Shagan is a two-time Oscar nominated screenwriter and if he said Cocks took money for reviews, then that is pretty notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.113.17 (talk) 23:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Jay Cocks was Time magazine's chief film critic in the mid-1970s. He has written screenplays for major films, and been nominated for Academy Awards. The man's career has clearly been notable enough to warrant an entry in an encyclopedia. I've removed the notability tag.-Hal Raglan 13:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Though he's certainly notable, shouldn't there be references? They should be easy to find, and I'd look, but I don't have time now...Minusminority (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I had a little time today so I added some sources to this article.Minusminority (talk) 10:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
