[edit] Thanatos's Memento

Independent film made by a company whose page was speedied last night, was intended to be shown as part of a festival, according to the page, but has no distribution outside DVDs and the Internet. (Note the comments from the article creator on the talk page.) Prod removed. Author has been notified. Delete Tony Fox (speak) 18:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

While I don't quite understand the reason for deletion of either the company page or the Film page, the purpose of both the Company's page (since we discovered it was added here) and the Film page was to allow for people to get information about our company. Being that we are a smaller company, not exactly fortune 500 stuff, our company has always followed a loose, internet based distribution system. This film in question, Thanatos's Memento, is our first major project that we believe deserved some attention before we released it to the internet. As such, the wikipedia page was added, on top of our blog having mention of the movie not being able to make it into the festival, but was being considered to be re-shot and later distributed. We are not trying to sell or push a product. The intention is to assist those who want information on our latest endevours yet cannot get access to our web page (as it is currently under heavy re-design, and being moved from our host as it seems to have a problem with us.

Quite simply, I vote Keep, although without the company page in existance I guess it'd be hard for people to find THIS page. Somehow, you all have. Zombi3 01:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

As I explained on the talk page of this article, the company page likely failed the guidelines for inclusion of companies in the eyes of the deleting administrator. (This was the same criteria I used in the original proposal for deletion, just before it was speedied.) To be considered notable, this film would require verifiable sources - discussion of it in major publications, generally. With not even being released yet, and with that release planned for Internet only, it is quite likely not notable enough to be included in this encyclopedia. If you have verifiable sources that can be added to prove notability, please do so, and they will be considered by editors viewing this nomination. Tony Fox (speak) 02:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Sorry, but this film is non-notable. No reviews, no awards, no distributor. While the criteria for notability in film are not set in stone, in the past a film has to at least seen some screens (multiple film festivals, etc) to even be considered for notability. --Aguerriero (talk) 20:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Aguerriero. Very persuasive. Ifnord 01:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Sorry to hear that they are having problems with their site but Wikipedia is not a free host. Yomangani 00:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It looks like a possible future candidate, but not a crystal ball etc. The movie isn't currently popular or interesting, so... --Rhwawn talk to Rhwawn 03:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nonnotable film. NawlinWiki 03:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
