Fails WP:NBIO; only one source, and even that source lacks WP:SIGCOV. The subject may well become notable in the future, but I don't think it is now. There is an AfD from 2016 under his full name which resulted in deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Rowsell. Ffranc (talk) 09:11, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

- The peer-reviewed academic work discussing this alt-right figure appears to emphasize his notability. We can't link directly to Breitbart News due to its Spam blacklist status, but that would alos appear. There's probably more academic discourse on this particular Youtube channel and its influence to pull from as well. :bloodofox: (talk) 09:52, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Krakkos:, @Katolophyromai:: Are you able to find further discussion about the subject of this entry in media or academic sources? :bloodofox: (talk) 10:54, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - I believe the information in the cited source already verifies Rowsell as notable per WP:FILMMAKER (1). Krakkos (talk) 12:35, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
@Sceaf:: The source quoted is written by a political activist group who the Wikipedia legal team have previously ruled are not an unbiased souce. The book is not an academic publication therefore cannot be "peer reviewed" - the article is misleading listing only one of the numerous publications the journalist wrote for. The full list of publications were included in an earlier version of the page which was deleted. The quotes from the 'Ancient North Eurasians' video do not represent the way Tilak's theory was contrasted with the actual theory the author endorses which is supported by Harvard studies cited in the video description. This page should either be deleted or revised. If the subject is notable as a film maker then a filmography ought to be included or mention of the work as a film maker using imdb as the source.

- Please see the Talk:Tom_Rowsell article's talk page regarding this user's attempts to invalidate this high-quality source and turn the entry into a puff page for the subject. :bloodofox: (talk) 00:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
DELETE: fails the BASIC test The Ace in Spades (talk) 00:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Subject is clearly notable, academic source makes that clear. Probably a lot more coverage out there. :bloodofox: (talk) 00:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
