[edit] Fraught

Fraught (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

An unreleased short film that fails to meet notability criteria. (WP:Notability (film) , WP:Notability) No significant press coverage. No full length reviews. No major awards, no IMDB entry. One minor award at a local film festival is not enough to establish notability. Likely self promotion (see Frogshavelegs (contribs)). Dgf32 (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Not notable- wasn't even big enough to make IMDB. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Amend my original !vote; agree with using the {{wi}} tag on the page per Saberwyn. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • If deleted, recreate as soft redirect to Fraught at Wiktionary as a plausible search for a dictionary definition. No stance on actual deletion. -- saberwyn 02:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete (and redirect to Wiktionary per Saberwyn). Despite the large number of 'references' provided, there's nothing that can be described as significant coverage of this film from a reliable source. The fact that it doesn't even have an entry on IMDB is evidence of how non-notable it is - even the most minor films have IMDB entries. Terraxos (talk) 16:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't even need to check the article, "not being on IMDB" is a damn good reason to remove this. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 16:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom - non notable film and likely self promotion. Dreamspy (talk) 20:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Wishy-washy Keep If the film has been produced but not in circulation, it still may have some redeeming features. The note: "Fraught won Best Australian Film at the 2007 Melbourne International Animation Festival" struck me as being at least an area to look at before I would cast a vote for deletion. From the edit record on the article, it is clear that the original submitter was trying to develop the article and that other editors were assisting. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 23:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC).
    • Comment I looked into that before nominating. The Melbourne International Animation Festival ia apparently a small film festival for animated films. There was no significant press coverage (or other independent source coverage) of the awards given by the festival. Dgf32 (talk) 17:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
