Fails WP:CREATIVE. Somewhat hard to check, as he is the namesake of his grandfather, King Baggot, but other than the odd interview or two,[1] I'm not seeing anything that elevates him above other working cinematographers, no Oscars, etc. (Besides, Gollum hates Baggotses.)

Delete - Does indeed appear not to pass any of the points of WP:CREATIVE, the only other thing I was able to find was by searching his full name, and it's this interview on a blog: [2]. There are a few other mentions, but they're mainly quotations where he's being interviewed regarding his grandfather's career. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 02:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - pretty clearly fails GNG. Two sources are explicitly about his father's death, another one is a public marriage record. Others are just passing mentions (being mentioned in a book is not a claim to fame). Apparently just a cameraman which is a noble profession but does not warrant inclusion without some other showing of significance. Sorry, King. ‡ El cid, el campeador ^talk 19:13, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
