[edit] Never Among Friends

Non-notable film, vanity. Sure it's on IMDB, but as the AfD for the article's creator (see here) said, this film is a textbook example of why existance of an IMDB entry alone doesn't establish notability. I agree. The IMDB takes submissions from anyone. Even the rating there are suspect, there is a large group of people sounding suspiciously alike who just can't wait for the DVD release - and all of them have only one entry; yup, you guess it, for this movie. Seems like IMDB has sockpuppets too. Ifnord 01:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable film created by non-notable crew. Royboycrashfan 01:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom; non-notable movie; an IMDb profile does not make a movie notable --TBC??? ??? ??? 01:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Internet Movie Base data? Royboycrashfan 01:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete what is this crap. --Rob from NY 01:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, canonical red link farm in full effect. They had more filming locations than screening locations? Yikes. --Deville (Talk) 02:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn. A budget of $7,000, and every single person involved is a red link. Oh, and the movie's website is begging for a distributor. That's a nice touch. Is every student filmmaker in the world trying to promote themselves through WP? Fan1967 03:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, and the website also begs people to go to IMDB and vote for the movie, which presumably explains the glowing ratings. Fan1967 03:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 05:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete on the basis that the list of screenings indicates it is not on general release, plus concerns above. Just zis Guy you know? 10:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn film. Advertising??? --Terence Ong 13:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per my original PROD: "Vanity page for film produced by creator of article. Some IMDb information, some Google hits, but nothing indicating widespread distribution, i.e., screened at one or two non-notable film festivals and no video availability. Your typical non-WP:ENC, dime-a-dozen indie film." --Kinu t/c 05:37, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I live in South Jersey, an admitted film buff, less than 15 miles from some of the screenings, and I've never heard of this film. MusicMaker5376 21:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
