Delete. Notability seems dubious here, and this article has gone on unsourced for four years now. I don't believe that being part of a large animation team provides for individual notability. JBsupreme (talk) 10:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, doesn't meet WP:CREATIVE, though the external link gives sourcing. Johnbod (talk) 10:58, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:CREATIVE. Appears as if Ervin was selected director as part of a policy to give creative experience to animators working on those shows. It is as if these directorships are part of Ervin's training, his schooling. If Ervin steps out and helms a major project, putting his stamp on it, he will be notable.

Weak delete. Fails WP:CREATIVE. But far more notable than Peter Hudecki, who for some reason keeps sticking around, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Hudecki (2nd nomination). THF (talk) 03:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Personally, I think being a director for several years on one of the most successful television shows of all time, as well as being a director for another well-known show, is enough notability. However, I was unable to find much in the way of sources about him. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 19:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Mark Ervin's service to The Simpsons is a good enough argument to Keep his article but not only has he worked for Futurama but has also worked in many other numerous T.V. Shows, Movies and other events for him to be notable enough for a definite keep.Azorrez (talk) 22:56, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Definite Keep. I think that Mark Ervin should stay on Wikipedia because simply that he is very notable. Personally I think that less notable people, places and events should be included in all parts of Wikipedia. Mark Ervin isn't some Self-Director of his own short films which he makes at his house and posts on YouTube and he should be recognized for what he is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tombuk1 (talk • contribs) 05:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
