Talk:The Trade Off

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... All of the other films from this director are on wikipedia including the director himself, since 2009. This film is listed on every major movie site and under distribution from MVD one of the leading distributors of movies and music in the industry today.
 * I'm declining this, as WP:A7 doesn't cover movies unless they're in a YouTube only type format. However there is a big lack of notability in the page as a whole that needs to be addressed. The problem with your argument though, is that the existence of the director's other films on Wikipedia doesn't really mean anything. (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) Another page existing on Wikipedia doesn't mean that those other pages pass notability guidelines for films or in general. It might just mean that they haven't been nominated for deletion yet. They could pass notability guidelines to merit their own pages, but even so, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by the director having produced other films that could pass notability guidelines. As far as listings on movie sites goes, those don't show notability but rather that it exists. Existing is not notability. (WP:ITEXISTS) Now when it comes to distribution, that doesn't guarantee notability either. A wide distribution or distribution to noticeable venues just makes it more likely that a film will gain coverage to show notability, but it's not a guarantee. This might sound harsh, but it's the guidelines for films to pass notability, which are fairly strict when it comes down to it. I'll see if I can find anything to help show notability, but I can't guarantee anything. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
