[edit] Spidertron

Spidertron (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A microbudget film that doesn't exist yet. Unverifiable, notability issues, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Weregerbil 09:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. The article is in reference to an actual body of work. It's production work is extensively documented here (http://www.spidertron.com/). While a finished work does not yet exist, many clips of a rough cut are readily available. Further, the article posted states in the first sentence that film is "currently being produced", and not a finished product. Reader interest exists due mostly to community involvement with the project. The article is not intended as advertising or promotional material.

• Delete No attribution to intellectually independent third party reliable sources. From Google searches may be unattributable. Wikipedia is not for drumming up interest: it's for things that have already gotten interest from third parties. Fails the WP:ATT and WP:N policies. --Charlene 10:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The issue isn't primarily with WP:CRYSTAL but rather with notability. I have friends who have made movies on their own, but none of those are notable enough to be on Wikipedia, because they have not been discussed in multiple independent reliable sources. This article has only one source, which is the website for the film in question. The website for the film is inherently an unreliable source, as it will be heavily biased in favor of the film and will tend to assert much more notability than the film has. Just the fact that the film is "microbudget" and not being filmed by an established production company is evidence enough that this is non-notable for Wikipedia inclusion purposes. --Hnsampat 15:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
