• Speedy Keep Keep - You're joking, right?Notable director, first film of a notable writer, Peter McDougall, the film caused a sensation when it was shown - see the director'swriter's article "The finished film, .... proved to be a televisual masterpiece. It won massive acclaim, was repeated several times, and won its author the Prix Italia." Also notable for being Billy Connolly's acting debut. Need we go on?

Would you please enlighten me on which of the WP:CSK it meets? I only nominated ot because the article made no assertion of notability at the time. The Dominator (talk) 00:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You're quite right, I shouldn't have said "speedy" - the assertion of notability is in the director'swriter's article, and the fact that it was Billy Connolly's acting debut is in his article - article itself has to be edited to reflect this. I guess I was a bit hasty in my "speedy" as I remember this as creating quite a furore when it was first shown. Cheers. Camillus (talk) 00:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I still think that at least one reliable source on it is needed, I don't think it's even listed at IMDb, when I listed it, it didn't even say who the director was. I admit I didn't make the best of efforts to search for sources, but I didn't think that speedy was appropriate and I could see that PROD would be contested immediately I took it here, I'll try to look for a reliable source.

I've added imdb link and ref for winning the Prix Italia. Camillus (talk) 16:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Wikipedia isn't paper. This film exists; it has a notable director, a notable cast. I know nothing about it personally but according to its Amazon review page it can be considered useful social history. Speaking personally, I rely on wikipedia to tell me about films I might not have seen but might consider watching, and films on Glasgow's social history count amongst this class. There might be an element of standard Wikipedia practice I'm missing here, but I can't see a reason to delete the page; it isn't as if the editor who wrote the page made the film in his basement.

• Withdrawal I'm withdrawing this nom, article obviously asserts notability now, interesting how sometimes it takes an AfD to improve an article... The Dominator (talk) 22:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
