[edit] One Fine Day!

One Fine Day! (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This student-produced video does not satisfy the requirements of Wikipedia:Notability, receiving "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" . The student paper may be nominally independent, but it is university-funded and does not meet the standard. There is no way of knowing if the News-Gazette story is non-trivial coverage, since there is no web link to the article, but a single source is almost never considered to be sufficient to demonstrate notability, and certainly does not in this case. The fact that these student videos have been posted by the creators on YouTube and DailyMotion does not show any notability at all. Darkspots (talk) 00:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Followup: I did as extensive a search at http://www.news-gazette.com/ as I could and could find no evidence of any story being written about "One Fine Day". I found a number of stories written by Melissa Merli in 2007, but not this one. Darkspots (talk) 00:23, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. No assertion of notability, and a literal example of something someone made up in school one fine day. J-ſtanContribsUser page 00:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Possibly when the show is aired, as the article states that it will be. Happy Holidays!! Malinaccier (talk) 01:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. As I've already explained at some length at Talk:One Fine Day!#Addressing Concerns, I just don't feel the sum of the local sources, minimal audience thus far, and assertions of future plans indicate this work has achieved reasonable notability. It may in the future rise above the mass of student productions, but we'll know that has happened when it gets substantive, truly independent coverage outside its immediate environs. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per nom. Doesn't look notable enough for Wikipedia yet, but there has been some minimal newspaper coverage.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

  • KEEP. As of 12/14/2007, the show has received an independent award from the Accolade Competition, a film competition that honors outstanding achievements in film, television, and videography. See http://www.accoladecompetition.org/TV/Honor.aspx for more information. The show is listed under the group Premonition Pictures as OFD! Mental Ability which is the third episode of the show. This has been added to the entry and the main weblink to the site has been added as a reference. For basic information on the competition itself, you can check its IMDB entry at http://imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Accolade_Competition/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fkick (talk • contribs) 21:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment This award in the Accolade Competition was an "honorable mention." I counted 86 winners of the "honorable mention" in 2007 (I only counted once, so that might be plus or minus two winners). This is an award competition that people pay $50 to enter. I get the impression from looking at the website that the honorable mentions are a fairly large subset of the people who enter the competition. We don't seem to have an article about this competition. This is not the kind of "major award" that notability articles indicate is the standard for this sort of situation.
