Bad Habits (2006 film)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Completely non-notable short film. The film was done by a "David Accampo" and this article was created by Daccampo. Clear conflict of interest and an attempt to use Wikipedia to advertise his own work. IrishGuy talk 19:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak (as in an elephant walking on eggshells) keep - It seems to just barely be notable, but it'll need a rewrite. -WarthogDemon 19:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete: Per WP:MOVIE, it fails all criteria for notability: No national film critic review, no historical value, no major awards (i.e. Oscar, Golden Globe), no National Archive, no teaching in schools. Google search turns up all of 49 results. Also seems to be some self-promotional advertisement disguised as a Wikipedia article. Delete with extreme prejudice. -- VegitaU 01:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep . Won an award at a notable international film festival.  Yes, it may not be an Oscar or a Palme d'Or, but it's still significant in the world of independent filmmaking. JulesH 09:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. According to, 918 films have won an award from that festival just in 2006. 39 films won an award from that festival that year in the category this movie was entered in (Original Drama). I don't believe there were 918 truly notable films in that festival. Festival award is not a criteria in WP:MOVIE anyway, so it's irrelevant it received it unless it matches any of the existing criteria. Karaboom 20:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Change to delete per evidence of lack of selectivity in selection for this award. I'd say receiving a festival award would normally qualify a film for an article, due to the fact that details about such awards are usually published by the organisers of the festival in what would count as significant coverage in a reliable independent source.  Most festivals are eager to go into detail about the films that have won their awards.  In this case, though, it seems that with so many winners, such detail is not plausible, so I'm not even going to look at it. JulesH 15:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
