[edit] Redneck Samurai

This page reads like a vanity page for a non-notable short film project (<400 ghits for "Redneck Samurai" mostly unrelated, "Official Site" has a gif only, no content). Page was created by the film-maker, and is of substandard quality. The creator immediately deleted a prod tag. Ogdred 21:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry -- just saw WP:NOTFILM. The creator, User:WhiteyWhite, claims to have shot the jpegs of the actors, leading me to conclude he is one of the filmmakers, as well. --Ogdred 21:20, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I hope that the film will one day be notable, but the closest I can come to proving that now is this: [1]. For now, I think this falls under WP:V and WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox as well as proposed guideline WP:NOTFILM. William Pietri 22:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• don't delete it I'm kinda new to all this wikipedia stuff so im learning how to use it. I recently saw this film and know it's being developed. it being put on Imdb.com but they told me they need proof as well. so once the site is up proof will be availible. —the preceding comment is by Whiteywhite - 23:29, 10 September 2006 UTC: Please sign your posts!

Hi, the issue isn't that the film doesn't exist, it is that it is not notable (at this point in time). Read WP:NOTFILM or the other links above. The fact that you personally are trying to have it added to IMDB makes that source less relevant for notability. --Ogdred 23:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Not associated with Japan at all, removing. ColourBurst 00:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Ihows does that make it less notable? its a indie film series. it being created in north Carolina what does it need to be notable? win something?Whiteywhite

• Yeah, getting it accepted to a well-known film festival would be pretty good. The concept isn't all that novel. ColourBurst 00:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Yes, win a well-known award (the Podunk Film Festival "Best Film Titled Redneck Samurai" won't cut it, unfortunately), be one of the main attractions at a significant film festival, or get some kind of media attention (and if it wins an award or is a main attraction, it's likely to appear in a newspaper or two anyway).
