This is a film, over 125 years old, from Robert W. Paul, a notable director. The nomination has zero indication of whether WP:Before has even been attempted. A quick check does indicate there are sources highlighting this short film demonstrates, from an academic viewpoint, the state of filmmaking in the UK at that particular time. I have added these citations to the article. Consequently, especially considering the very age, and indeed novelty, of the subject, I consider this a keep as this 67 second movie does appear to be an encyclopedic historical subject.

Keep RD's two sources clinch NFILMS, and there's no earthly reason we would delete an article about an early film in the first place. Nate • (chatter) 01:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: significant coverage in reliable sources exist, see GBooks please. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination as Keep.
