Non-notable film lacking GHit and GNEWS of substance. Fails WP:NOTFILM. ttonyb (talk) 23:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As the nominator says, this film doesn't stack up well against the film notability guidelines. The closest it comes is that the article claims that it is a unique and significant accomplishment as a solo film, which, if true, would qualify it under "Other evidence" point 1. However, a.) I suspect it is neither as unique or significant an accomplishment as the article author believes, and b.) if it was, we would need reliable sourcing about its uniqueness and significance, which would probably fulfill some of the other guidelines anyway. gnfnrf (talk) 00:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NotJustYet. While the film appears completed, it is not yet released, nor does it have any coverage. Maybe in a few months... but now? Nope. . Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -I would like to thank the users above for their sincere efforts to keep wikipedia's integrity according to its policy. Since I am the writer of the page in discussion, I would be the least qualified to evaluate the page's worthiness. But I promise you this-- as of today, I will stop all my effort to keep the page alive. I you believe the article is not worth a space in wikipedia, go ahead and delete it. I know nothing about what will happen in the future, but if the movie aforementioned should become famous one day, this discussion will make an interesting anecdote worthy of mentioning. --Huhnkie Lee
- The issue is that the film is only now in the festival circuit and is currently lacking independent coverage. You might consider requesting the article be worked on in a userspace such as User:Huhnkie/A Therapy for Metrophobia, but as you appear to be the film's creator, and while I do understand that wearing the many hats of production can be a difficult task, Wikipedia has concerns with any appearance of self-promotion. Please read the page at WP:COI, and know that while not absolutely disallowed (as even founder Jimbo Wales has been known to edit the article about himself), wrting about oneself or one's projects is strongly discouraged. If or when the film gets news coverage, or wins awards, it might be welcomed back with open arms. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Certainly fails the GNG. With all due respect to Mr. Lee, "when the subject becomes famous" crosses our path at AfD several times a week. In the overwhelming number of cases, it never does. Ravenswing 22:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: lack of any third-party coverage. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
