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.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice.

This article was nominated for deletion on January 1, 2007. The result of the discussion was keep.

User Springnuts added a tag requesting a speedy deletion to this page. Although the article at that point was pretty bare-bones, it did note the film's addition to the US National Film Registry, a registry of films selected for preservation in the US Library of Congress for their cultural, historic, or aesthetic significance. Although Think of Me First as a Person was and is something of an obscure film, its placement in the NFR is a pretty noteworthy honor, and puts it in a league with other NFR films such as Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Star Wars, and so on.

I got a little quick on the trigger and I removed the tag. I can restore it if people feel if the film's importance is still in question. Epicharmus 00:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Now that Springnuts has re-established the tag for speedy deletion for this article, I might as well re-argue the case for this film as being notable. While there is no set of notability guidelines specific to motion pictures, I believe that Think of Me First as a Person is notable if we use a criterion similar to those already established to judge the notability of other media. A book meets the notability criteria if it "has won a non-trivial literary award"; a video game does if it "has won an award from a notable award-giving body independent of the game creators, sponsors, and publishers."; a song is notable if "[h]as won a major award," and so on. Likewise, as the film has been inducted into the United States National Film Registry -- a non-trivial honor presented to twenty-five "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films" per year since 1988, 450 films so far in total -- I argue this reasonably establishes the film's notability.
