Christopher Browne (screenwriter)
No evidence of any significant notability. The refs are from IMDB (unreliable), a Facebook page and two mentions on promotional sites - not really the stuff of notability. Fails
]I'm an intern from Echo Lake Entertainment, and I created a page for Christopher Browne because he's one of the clients here. His film, The Walk is premiering soon, so it's important for him to have a Wikipedia page. The Hollywood Reporter article mentioned his name, so what kind of sources do you need more to solidify the screenwriter? We're in the process of getting permission to use a picture of him, would that be enough?
Looking forward to your feedback! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mookdan (talk • contribs) 14:37, 29 September 2015 (PT)
- Well that's quite a few issues to deal with. Please read the guidance about conflict of interest and FAQs on paid editingfor starters. As a brief summary the terms of use say (amongst other things) :
These Terms of Use prohibit engaging in deceptive activities, including misrepresentation of affiliation, impersonation, and fraud. As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:
- a statement on your user page,
- a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
- a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.
- I strongly suggest that you spend the next few days familiarising yourselves with the principles of Wikipedia to understand what it is all about. The one key thing is that Wikipedia is NOT here to give free publicity to your clients. ...and no, a photo wouldn't help. Sorry Velella Velella Talk 00:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the responses. I will familiarize myself with the comments you two gave. In the mean time, I want to stress that my contribution to Christopher Browne's page is not paid, as I'm an unpaid intern. So my contribution is simply for my own knowledge while helping the company I'm interning for. The Walk's wikipedia page links the writer's name to a different Christopher Browne, so it's important that readers should not be mislead if they chosen to learn more about Christopher Browne. — Preceding (Mookdan) 18:56, 30 September 2015 (PT)
- Redirect to The Walk (film) for now as I found nothing more than the current coverage for that film, to suggest a better separate article. SwisterTwister talk 04:29, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to The Walk (2015 film). I guess I could go along with a redirect. It's entirely likely that we're going to be recreating this article very soon, but it's probably too soon. It's just too debatable currently. I would not be opposed to keeping the article if someone could find a really solid source, like an interview in Entertainment Weekly or The Hollywood Reporter.
