Talk:Fitch High School

Alumnus Christopher Annino

A series of WP:SPAs have been attempting to add Christopher Annino as a notable alumnus. Per WP:ALUMNI he must have a citation showing his attendance and either a Wikipedia article or sufficient sources to show his notability to be included on the list of notable alumni.

The first attempts did not show his attendance but the latest attempt has now added a source that confirms Annino's attendance at the school.

He does not have a wikipedia article showing his notability, thus he needs sources to show that he can be presumed to be notable. The applicable guideline for a filmmaker is WP:CREATIVE, but the six sources do not establish his notability. IMDB is a user-generated site and is not a reliable source. Four of the other sources are just passing mention of him having directed a silent film. According to the IMDB ref he wrote it too, and it had a budget of $20,000. It also premiered at a local library so we can safely assume this was not a major film. There's no evidence at all to support the claim that Annino is an "International Award Winning Filmmaker". The sixth source is more interesting. It mentions that a film will be made about his life, but is certainly not sufficient show his notability on its own.

WP:WTAF applies here. If he's notable then write the article about him first to prove his notability. Meters (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Agree completely with Meters. The only way you'll get past my objection to his perceived notability is to WP:WTAF. I've reverted again, and I would suggest you not re-add it until there is a consensus formed here to do so, and again, the ONLY way you are going to gain said consensus is to write his biography first.
