Delete nn film - not mentioned on IMDB Mayalld 17:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Merge into Paul Devlin (filmmaker). Topic has some notability, but not enough for own article. --Son 18:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

We are currently awaiting the film's profile to be approved on IMDB. Until then, please feel free to visit our official website blastthemovie.com to confirm the legitimacy of the film. --Bloodybonnie 18:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - appearance on IMDB doesn't confirm notability, even if it does confirm that the film exists. Fails WP:FILM. For what it's worth: filmmakers, studios, and films that have appeared in IMDB have lost AfD votes in the past. --- tqbf 18:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

What would we need to add to the page to make it not viable for deletion? --Bloodybonnie 20:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment It isn't about what you have to add to the page. The criteria is that the film must be notable. WP:FILM describes what is required of the film Mayalld 20:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I gave you that wrong; it's WP:NOTFILM, not WP:FILM. To answer your question directly: the easiest thing to find and add would be reviews or awards covered by two nationally known publications. Note that blogs and self-published online magazine are rarely accepted as sources. Note also that it's not necessarily best for your film to have an article right now. Maybe it's too early? It's easy to re-add the article later, when you've received more coverage. If the coverage you get is obvious (a review in the LA Times, etc), you won't even have to stick up for the article; other people who watch AfD votes will do it for you. --- tqbf 20:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Ah, thank you very much for your explanation. Perhaps we will have to hold off on the article, since the film is still in post-production and therefore hasn't received reviews yet. Sorry for all the confusion, I'm new to the whole world of wiki-editing!--Bloodybonnie 21:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Snowball Delete per above, possible speedy per G7, if I'm interpreting User:Bloodybonnie correctly. --Thinboy00 @3, i.e. 23:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
