Attack of the Sabretooth
AfDs for this article:


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

This film was nominated for deletion in July 2021. At the time I voted "Keep" because I found a review at Dread Central, which is a Reliable Source, and another one at HorrorForever , which hasn't been assessed to my knowledge as to whether or not it is reliable. I also found a rating at Allmovie, but no indepth review...but, I have seen other films being kept by having just an Allmovie rating as Allmovie is considered a reliable source Reliable sources/Perennial sources.

But, the overall result was "no consensus", and the notability tag remains. I am not a fan of that tag, I think that either the article should be improved to the extent that the tag can be removed, or the article should be deleted if notability cannot be proven.

Can we come to a consensus this time? Notable (keep article) or non-notable (delete article). I vote Keep. See below  Donald D23   talk to me  17:24, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I also found a review at "Outnow.ch", which has not been assessed to my knowledge either, but it does have an editorial page/staff  Donald D23   talk to me  17:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. does an excellent job in film-related AfDs and my opinion might be controversial, but I just can't see how WP:GNG or WP:NFILM is met. GNG requires multiple independent, reliable, (preferably) secondary sources constituting of WP:SIGCOV. Dread Central meets so, but AllMovie is merely a rating. That is nowhere near WP:SIGCOV, it is a rating and a database entry that does not meet the 100 words requirement per One hundred words (of course this is an essay but it's my personal subjective metric) that is the bare minimum. Additionally, the other sources are unreliable. The translated version of Horror Forever reads Powered by the Blogger service. If a Blogger blog with no editorial policies whatsoever or that the author is a subject-matter-expert is undiscussed, it should be a SPS and generally unreliable, similar to a WordPress blog per WP:RSP, unless there is convincing evidence otherwise. Additionally, on Outnow.ch, IMO merely having a vague staff list is insufficient for a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to meet WP:RS. That has to be demonstrated from detailed editorial policies and submission guidelines, I also don't see that the authors are subject-matter-experts, nor is there sufficient WP:USEBYOTHERS. The author who wrote the article in question's qualifications is helping with a minor podcast and. being a passionate Star Wars fan. This does not seem at all to be resembling a WP:RS site. WP:NFILM is likewise failed- for criteria 1, none of the critics are nationally well-known. My WP:BEFORE search found trivial mentions, 1, 2, or additional non-RS sites, 1, 2, 3, clearly not counting towards GNG/NFILM. Therefore, IMO this should be deleted.

 * Delete After reading VickKiang's assessment of the citations that I listed above, I am now convinced that this should be deleted. Donald D23   talk to me  03:41, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. As much as I would love to save a movie as dumb as this one, there just isn't much coverage out there. Certainly not enough to establish notability. It's just one of the films SyFy made before they really started getting attention for their mockbusters. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  19:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
