[edit] Clase Z "Tropical"

While the article makes some claim to notability, a Google search on the title brings up 245 hits, with only 70 unique. No verifiable evidence of claimed awards or televison screenings found. Very likely a vanity article, as article author has only made edits promoting this filmmaker. Delete MikeWazowski 04:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, non-notable film. Possibly merge to Miguel Coyula, though the Miguel Coyula article might be not notable as well.--TBCTaLk?!? 04:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable film. --Coredesat talk 08:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge, into Miguel Coyula article. No need to delete the Coyula article, though the info on this short film belongs there and does not merit a separate page. SmartGuy 13:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• I'm a Cuban film scholar and have written several essays about Cuban Filmmakers. In Cuba, Television Screenings as well as many Film Festivals awards are not listed in the internet, as internet access is quite limited. However if the English section of Wikipedia only considers relevant or notable films that have had been notable in North America as opposed to any other country in the world, please inform me so I will certainly delete the Clase Z "Tropical" article. I'm merely transplanting information and translating it into english from the ICAIC website (Cuban Institute of Art and Film Industry) where you can see (in spanish) the filmography and awards for this particular director (see link below)[1] User:Thaman81 10:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge into Miguel Coyula article. This is the English speaking wikipedia, not the Anglo-culture only wikipedia.--Zleitzen 18:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, Wikipedia needs more articles like this, not fewer, to counteract the Wikipedia problem with Systemic bias. BruceHallman 16:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
