327:: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." While notability is not inherited, an Emmy nom is not small stuff. He was also a panelist on a game show--that's of some note. His having produced The Eagle Has Landed, Escape to Athena, and That's Dancing adds notability too. I'm seeing enough coverage in Proquest and in Newspapers.com to make a decent article.
258:
There is no claim for significance apart from that he is the son of actor David Niven and his
Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 1985. There are a few passing mentions in the articles cited in the article, which are possibly not enough to pass Knowledge's notability threshold.
525:
Has a body of work in film, as a producer, which meets wp:filmmaker. Also nominated for emmy for film which he co-wrote and produced, which although not numerous times as it says in notability rules, but along with the body of work proves notability.

It may be a days or two before I have an hour to dig into archives and makeover the article. It would be prudent for potential voters to watch the page and wait to vote until I do so. Unless someone else beats me to the research, that is.

Really? None of them are of much worth? Were you able to view "Pictures: David Niven Jr. Turns Par Indie" that I added? I wouldn't call it a passing mention. "Lots of movie execs aren't notable" is a poor argument.

As I had previously stated with my vote, there is more coverage than that. There is coverage of his career in publciations like
Variety. Not all articles on 1970s-1990s figures are available on the open internet.
560:(and quite a few of his films have WP articles). The article is well referenced, with non-trivial coverage. He does not have a major SIGCOV piece (at least not one I could find via google), however, per

is definately notable. Have added more stuff. Is more than Niven snr son. Was an exec at
Paramount and Columbia, and been in quite a few films and produced them too, married to Barbara Niven.
467:
None of the sources currently in the article are of much worth. They're passing mentions, IMDb, announcements (e.g. house sale, wedding). Also, lots of movie execs aren't notable.
