• Delete per WP:GNG, WP:MILL, WP:OR, WP:NOTRESUME, and WP:TNT. We have deleted so many articles about filmmakers because so many of them, to be blunt, are NN and run of the mill like this subject. We have never published original research in 20 years. Whether in 2012 or 2021, everybody has known you can't edit your own article, and it's so poorly written you'd think it was not edited by someone with a college degree. If it is kept, this will require a lot of copyediting. Bearian (talk) 22:57, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

• Delete non notable film director. lack of reliable references. LucyLucy (talk) 04:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
• Delete - his documentary Carbon Nation is notable but I'm not seeing any notability inherited by Byck for him to warrant an article himself. Even if he did somehow pass one of our guidelines, the article would need a complete overhaul as it is currently a CV and not an encyclopaedia article.
