Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Nomination for deletion

This entry was given a nomination for deletion (originally a speedy deletion nomination) by an unregistered user whose only contribution was that nomination. The film was screened at a variety of major film festivals and has been released nationally on DVD. It stars a number of high profile individuals, the least of which is internationally known drag performer RuPaul. The nomination for deletion was spurious and, frankly, stupid. The very content of the article itself lends credence to the notability of the film. TheGoonSquad 19:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

That's funny, because the article itself says it was not distributed. Was it sold on DVD out of shopping carts nationally? Now what would RuPaul Andre Charles think about being described as "the least of" a "high profile" group of whores, prostitutes, pornographers and dope users? The film was screened at queer film festivals, not beyond that. If info to the contrary can be found, list it and source it, and do source the rest of the article, while you're at it. This film may be known among queer circles, but beyond that it is not notable, and the article only rehashes its content and gives some ancillary info. Ho-hum (no pun intended). Please bear in mind that there's a greater world outside of queerdom. --72.76.90.236 19:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Your description of the cast of the film as "whores, prostitutes, pornographers and dope users" shows you are NOT approaching the topic from a neutral point of view. The DVD for the film is available EVERYWHERE, and a simple search on your part would have shown you that. Here's the entry on amazon:

If you'd like to specify which statements you wish to have sourced, I'll get right on top of that, but you need to adjust your tone ASAP as I'm not going to be bullied. TheGoonSquad 05:46, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
