 * Redirect to the section of Billy the Kid titled "Selected references in popular culture". This is a little-known 1941 film, but is a plausible search term.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  20:33, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually I think that's a great idea. Andrew327 20:43, 3 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Did you check the article's history before nominating it for deletion? I have reverted it to the version 04:14, 24 October 2012‎. The film was directed by Sam Newfield, produced by Sigmund Neufeld and starring Bob Steele and Al St. John. --Bensin (talk) 23:50, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

 * No worries! We all make mistakes sometimes. Too bad it went unnoticed for so long. --Bensin (talk) 01:24, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: With a search engine test, I see that this film has a lot of hits in Google Books, but from what I can tell, the film is only mentioned briefly. Is anyone even able to find a capsule review? Also, Google News turns up even less results, also spartan. The film is mentioned all around briefly, but I'm not sure if the topic complies with WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Open to hear what others have to say.

 * Note that this is the version that was nominated. It is still unclear if the nominator reviewed the article's history before nominating it for deletion. I asked the user here but the user has not yet answered. Notability is not a problem since the film has "received significant coverage in reliable sources". --Bensin (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep in preserving our cinematic history. We do not expect a 62-year-old film remain in headlines, and have enough verifiability in it being worth mentioning in many books covering films of that period to accept that, even if not all 1940 news sources are in 2013 archives, a western made during world-war two was notable enough to have been included in 1940 news articles even if pushed off of main pages by coverage of the wars in Europe and The Pacific. The article first brought to AFD as lacking content and sourcing, NOW has content and sourcing and serves our readers.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:32, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
