Jesus Dress Up appears to be the only notable output of this person, and this page should redirect there. None of the sources for the article discuss Bob Smith as Bob Smith, they merely mention him en passant as the creator of 'Jesus Dress Up'. It's noted that he was one of seven Bob Smiths in a documentary film, however that documentary film appears vanishingly marginal[1]. Fails WP:BIO for not providing substantial reliable sources covering its subject. Sumbuddi (talk) 13:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should be, yes, but the article can't "fail" based on that not yet being done. We don't delete articles that can demonstrably be expanded just because they haven't been yet. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
