Delete NN fanfilm. Fails to meet notability requirements of WP:NF. Previous PROD was contested on the grounds that Terry Pratchett appears in it. However, his was not a sufficiently major role to make the film notable per WP:NF Mayalld (talk) 08:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence of notability - this film was aparently only shown at a convention and wasn't broadcast. --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• keep. Wikipedia is not paper; the fact that the film wasn't broadcast doesn't alter its notability for the purposes of wikipedia, IMO. Pratchett appearing in the film, even briefly, surely makes it notable. Robinh (talk) 12:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment as detailed above, WP:NF defines notability for films, and is explicit that notability is only inherited from a participant if he/she played a major role in the production. Pratchett's role was as a cameo. Whilst the film may (in your opinion), surely be notable, Wikipedia policy says otherwise. Mayalld (talk) 13:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Even if Pratchett was in it, it still fails WP:NF. No reliable sources could be found pertaining to the film, and furthermore, it was only a minor film shown at a convention. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. This film has a section in "An Unofficial Companion to the Novels of Terry Pratchett", thus meeting wikipedia's requirements of notability. Agent Pleochroic (talk) 1:16, 10 January 2008— Agent Pleochroic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Comment WP:NF seems to disagree with you Mayalld (talk) 07:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete An 18 minute film made at a cost of $300 and shown at a fan convention grossly fails the Wikipedia standards for film notability. Edison (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Given that there is a source regarding this film, that makes the information about Pratchett's role in the film worthy of inclusion in the article of Terry Pratchett. However, as I'm unfamiliar with the film and mostly unfamiliar with Pratchett's work (I know of it), I can't say either way whether the film warrants its own article. I lean toward "probably not," but for now, having given my two cents, I'll abstain. LaMenta3 (talk) 22:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, fan film, doesn't pass notability. Terraxos (talk) 03:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, seemingly non-notable. Doctorfluffy (talk) 20:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
