The guy has worked on so many movies and authored several books, notability should really be no issue here.
This isn't about "notability" (nothing ever is). The stated reason was "no context". FSVO of "no context, see [1]:
- No context. Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify
the subject of the article. Example: "He is a funny man with a red car and makes people laugh." Context is different than content, treated in A3, below.
Assuming, briefly, that they meant to say "no content" (A3), you'll read on and see that said user is still be barking up the wrong cactus. This means he has either not bothered to read the criteria, or that he knows it's an improper tag but hopes that those reviewing the tag actually are equally ignorant (or simply don't care).
The "good faith" interpretation is that nobody actually bothers to read the CSD policy (yet every day somebody wants to add more to it -- perfect...)
