A Mile in His Shoes

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article does not meet WP:NFILM. The only reviews I could find are from three Christian websites, which briefly describe the plot and note whether it is appropriate for children being raised in the Christian faith. Those reviews are at Movie Mom (which is no longer live), Common Sense Media, and Dove.org. Setting aside whether those sources are reliable, none of the reviews meet the standard for significant coverage as they are brief, highly context specific, and do not contain any additional relevant information about the film. voorts 17:21, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose - user:Donaldd23 opposed the WP:PROD and tagged the article as needing citations for verification, which is a legitimate alternative to deletion (WP:ATD). That process needs to be allowed some time to work out rather than going immediately to AfD. I'd be more likely to support merging into Frank Nappi than outright deletion (although I think with a little time and effort, satisfactory sources could be turned up).

 * Keep, not sure why "Christian" sites are being dismissed in regards to this film. Common Sense Media is listed as a Reliable Source for Wikipedia: WP:RSPSOURCES. The Dove Foundation (Dove.org), while not specifically listed on the RS page, is respected American non-profit organization and has been used hundreds of times in deletion discussions are an arguement for keep. Therefore, these 2 reviews passes WP:NFO easily, as condition one of that guidelines says "film(s) (that are) widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics."

This deletion discussion should not be happening as I fully explained this in the summary when I removed the PROD. Donald D23   talk to me  19:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)


 * There are also reviews at Box Office Revolution, and the Movie Mom one is listed as a Critic Review at Rotten Tomatoes . The fact that it is no longer a live link is irrelevant. Donald D23   talk to me  19:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I'm not arguing that the websites should be dismissed because they're Christian, but rather because they reviews are solely related to whether the films are suitable for viewing by Christian youths. The review on each of the three websites I noted are 2-3 paragraphs long; I wouldn't describe those as "full-length" or significant reviews. Moreover, WP:NFO says that the existence of two full-length reviews will "generally indicate" a film would meet the criterion for notability, not that it necessarily will. voorts 20:42, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
