Keep - has obviously done commercials for notable products. I asked a friedn who lives on Iceland if she had heard about this dude and she had,. That is enough for me to say Keep.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:19, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Wikipedia has guidelines on notability. "Someone from Iceland has heard of them" is not one of them. Also, notability is not inherited. If you feel the subject is notable, please add reliable, independent sources to the article. Edward321 (talk) 00:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not even remotely notable per WP:RS and WP:BIO. Qworty (talk) 00:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We need to be very careful of cultural and linguistic bias. The point made above, that the person seems to be well known in Iceland, may be valid. Biography discussions seem to be dominated by fame measured by Googled references (irrespective of notability guidelines). In the creative field, particularly, very minor personalities can get into Wikipedia if active in the US, which has a population 1000 times that of Iceland, if measured by search engine references. Baldursson probably fails on strict notability rules - awards, etc - but he does have a reasonable CV (sorry, resume for some of you - an example of a culturally specific term).

Then feel free to write him up at the Icelandic Wiki, if there is one. Tarc (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Icelandic Wikipedia is active and well-developed with 30,000+ articles and 168 currently active editors (last 30 days). It has no article on this person that I could find. I checked both these spellings: w:is:Ágúst Baldursson or w:is:Agust Baldursson. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We have simple guidelines on notability, and this person simply fails them; WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER. Tarc (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not on the Icelandic Wikipedia (see comment above). No substantive mentions in Google News' English archives. Just 44 hits on a Google (Iceland) web search. Only a passing mention in IMDb. Having said that, this guy works for very well-known ad agencies and it's quite possible he will get more coverage in the future, in which case we can produce a new article in the future. --A.

The creator of this article produced 2 other articles that were deleted: EGigs (deleted 5 times) and Mallard Productions. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Source it or lose it. We really can't take chances on a BLP. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:24, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
