He's done admittedly great work. But, citing nine sources in the Lead to say he is known for his film documentaries is really unnecessary. What's the point? This is not a popularity contest; having more cites for a non-contested fact doesn't make someone more notable.Parkwells (talk) 18:39, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
