An Inconsistent Truth

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable film, fails WP:MOVIE. Promoted with the ludicrous claim that it was the #1 box-office performer "per screen" (it played on exactly one screen, which speaks to notability).

Specifically, per WP:MOVIE: this film has not been widely distributed; has not been the subject of at least 2 full-length reviews by nationally known critics; shows no evidence of historical notability; has received no major awards (2nd place at the Appalachian Film Festival doesn't meet that bar in WP:MOVIE), and has not been selected for preservation or taught in accredited film programs.

Delete - even after repairing what I could, I don't find much reason to keep this article. Very difficult to find info on this movie, even its own website says "Now Playing! Nashville's Regal Hollywood 27", that's Phil Valentine's hometown, and I can't find it playing anywhere else. Checking the listing of that theatre, it's not listed. So even the movie's own website is wrong, it's not playing anywhere, nor is there any indication that there will be a DVD release. Not notable. -- Despayre ^{tête-à-tête} 17:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with storm and fire: Only ONE Google News hit, on a Nashville-based blog. [1]. No evidence of notability, no reliable sources cited. Fails WP:MOVIE going away. The article's creator is a SPA whose Wikipedia activity centers around this article and the Phil Valentine article, to which he's added a great deal of unsourced and trivial content.

Delete Sorry, I missed this entirely. I saw the coverage and assumed it met notability requirements. Upon further inspection, there is some coverage, but I not much. If someone wants to look for some additional citations, it may be enough to warrant a keep. I'll keep track of the page in the meantime to see if any improvements are made.JoelWhy (talk) 18:21, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't meet WP:MOVIE and any of the notability guidelines at WP:GNG. Wildthing61476 (talk) 18:35, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. If it becomes notable for any reason, then it should be restored without issue. Collect (talk) 18:37, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails WP:MOVIE outright. I think there's going to be a puddle on the ground regarding this one. - Pmedema (talk) 19:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:MOVIE is surprisingly strict. a13ean (talk) 19:40, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:MOVIE, sorry. No way this will be kept, I'm afraid. JoeSperrazza (talk) 21:12, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Phil Valentine#Film & Television (if Phil Valentine survives its current AfD). The claim that this film was the #1 box office performer "per screen" in its opening weekend is true, albeit much less impressive than the film's supporters might have us believe. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the guy who couldn't find any Google hits on the movie he wasn't looking very hard.

And, by the way, the trailer has over 32,000 views as of this writing. Pretty significant and relevant if you ask me. --The Authenticator (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
