 * Delete, I couldn't find anything on this person or the films he is supposed to have directed. ~ UDScott 20:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. You beat me to nominating this one; a search at IMDb doesn't turn up any matches for the person or the films listed. &mdash;LrdChaos 20:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Obviously, Matt Smith is famous, havent u guys seen his movies? Theyre awesome, you guys are missing out. I love his movie called "Breakup.beer.party." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.104.250.115 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)  (UTC)
 * Delete. There are 28 Matt or Matthew Smiths listed in IMDb. If someone can identify which one is supposedly the subject of this article, we might have a reason not to delete it. As for the films this "famous director" is supposed to have helmed:
 * Two Guys Talking: no IMDb record of this exact title; no prominent Google presence; Two Guys Talking About Girls was directed by Steven Pearl
 * Pillow Talk: neither the famous Doris Day/Rock Hudson film nor the apparently obscure 1991 short film lists Smith as participating, let alone directing
 * This Is Not a Pipe: there's a book by philosopher Michel Foucault, but no record in IMDb as a film; the article's phrase "steadily building popularity" is an alarm bell for "non-notable"
 * Breakup.beer.party: also no IMDb record; not one Google hit, with or without the punctuation, spelled either "breakup" or "break up"
 * In short, as of this point, we have no reason to believe this is anything but a hoax or an incredibly obscure person. Unless someone can cite actual evidence from a reliable source that we can verify, this is certain to be deleted. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
