Fails GNG. The name "Wellyn Totman" does not appear in a search of Google News. A search of Google Books only finds credit lines (e.g. "Screenplay: Wellyn Totman") that provide no biographical information. A search of JSTOR returns no results. The article is currently sourced to one website: a local,
Duluth, Minnesota publishing portal.

Neutral An article based on trivialities because there's nothing more substantial out there. Why should Wikipedia's readers care that someone who once wrote some screenplays was once arrested for drink driving?

Keep notable for his notable work. Much of it has been reviewed. Coverage such as
here establishes notability beyond any doubt.

As a side note, Google News only has very recent articles. So searching a subject's name and newspapers.com is more useful since Google News did away with its archives.

Keep Per FloridaArmy. It is useless to discuss Google News for a subject not recently deceased. ~EDDY(

Keep as per above, still a marginal case of
WP:BIO1E and another weakly sourced article, we need more RS to be into the article should it be a keep. --

Keep I doubt it will ever be anything much and I'm not keen on Wikipedia's increasing tendency to become another version of IMDb but, nonetheless, it meets the guidelines. It is the guidelines where the fault lies. -
