Untitled

The Stuart Browning article and the movie that he is making, Health Care in America/producing are separate and distinct topics. I would rather see more biography of Mr. Browning here. Besides, Mr. Browning has been involved in a number of other movie projects and is likely to continue this activity since he is still alive.

Those aren't reasons why they should not be put onto his article as opposed to having separate articles. See James Crump, for instance. I agree Browning is notable, but whether each of his films are notable need to pass WP:Notability for them to have stand-alone articles, and Google results don't necessarily indicate this. --David Shankbone 20:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability Requirement

It doesn't appear that being listed in the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) with a listing as a producer of a movie is sufficient to justify notability. This association with a movie, merely indicates that he has sufficient money to invest in the production of a movie. Can you find any more references to other listings for Mr. Browning? I've been searching with google and all I've found was his work with the Database company, but not his contributions to the field of database work. I've also found his writings, and a few smaller market newspapers which reprinted them. His opinions are interesting but is that in of itself a qualification for noterity? 207.171.180.101 21:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He's been covered in the National Review, Weekly Standard, New York Sun, and Health Care News. Also by the left-wing Working for Change. THF 17:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and criticism

I think Mr. Browning is indeed notable enough for an entry on Wikipedia, but the current article reads like an advertisement: I found it easy per Google.com to find negative criticism of Mr. Browning and his films, and I suggest that in order to obtain a balanced view of such a controversial figure -- and he is controversial -- some of these criticisms should be included in his article . . . much as might be found in articles about other political media personalities, from Al Franken on the Left to Rush Limbaugh on the Right. --Skb8721 (talk) 03:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
