Comment: Thank you. I do see he has done a lot of work but need to ensure there is significant coverage as WP:NFILMMAKER does not establish inherent notability. I think this would constitute significant coverage. Thanks for pointing that out. If there is at least one more, ping me and I will come and move to mainspace.

- Comment: Are there any sources that talk about the subject in-depth? I see a lot that mention him as the writer but nothing that seems to focus on him. It is also difficult to go through as there are a lot of sources, many of which are unecessary. CNMall41 (talk) 05:36, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
- This article focuses on Amsel. He's done a lot, plus I just added my good sources on top on the person who previousy drafted the page, so that led to the glut of citations. I essentially replaced everything on the page, but kept some of the original cites, so sorry if there are too many. I'll try to clean up some of the old ones. --FeldBum (talk) 18:42, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
- I think https://tvbizzmagazine.com/trust-no-one-at-the-monte-carlo-television-festival works too @CNMall41. Thanks --FeldBum (talk) 00:58, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
