Proposed deletion of Kicking the Dog


The article Kicking the Dog has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Lack of notability & possible conflict of interest, making this an advertising or vanity piece with most of the information being irrelevant even if the film were notable (e.g., his mother repainting the house). Created by a single-edit, single-purpose account, this article reads like more of a self-published author's self-writeup than anything else. The ref section is not robust and mostly boils down to, "This film exists." Notable films don't need to discuss how they were available at Blockbuster, etc. The Amazon claim isn't significant, given the category is one drilled down so very far; it's like being in the top 10 of the big frogs in a small pond for a month. I did a little online research, but did not come up with anything compelling, although to be fair, I'm not a film expert and the title uses very common words. But what I *did* discover was that the name of the production company, Jackbird Productions, was similar to the creator's account name, Thejackbird. Thanks! Geekdiva

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.
