[edit] Every Step You Take
Non-notable film documentary. An article that is being used to advertise rather than educate. Author removed prod with no reason given. -- WebHamster 00:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Why do you think this film is non-notable? There are hundreds of other articles about films of that kind on Wikipedia, which deal with different subjects and include much less information about the film. Take, for instance, The War on Drugs. I have given reason for removal of prod in the Edit summary - the addition of the interviewee list is very relevant and crucial to the understanding of this film. I was also about to include a "Criticims" section about this film to the article. Please reply. Thanks. --Thenino 00:39, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- The existence of other similar articles has no bearing on whether or not this article should be kept. As for notability, please review Wikipedia's notability guidelines, especially the movie guidelines. shoy 01:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

- Added 'Specific Criticisms' section, based on newspaper and radio reviews of the film. --Thenino 01:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keep There are 3rd party references listed, the film has appeared in multiple festivals on different continents. Appears to pass film notability for an independent film. SkierRMH 01:54, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: There are no independent 3rd party references. There are links to show that the film was in the festivals, but that's it. The BBC link has nothing to do with the film and is about the film "Faceless" that is mentioned in the text (why it's in there is beyond me anyway). There are no independent reviews. Being in 7 film festivals is not "distribution", and being in a film festival is not in itself evidence of notability. There is nothing in the article to suggest that the film has had any distribution deals. Admittedly I'm not an expert in the subject but none of those festivals look to be major ones. On top of that we have WP:COI as the article author appears to be the film's director, a first time director. The article has already been speedied twice for blatant advertising. This is just another way of advertising the film. ---- WebHamster 02:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. User:Thenino is probably the writer/director, Nino Leitner, who also wrote all info on the IMDb entry. --Evb-wiki 15:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
