Black swan story

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I'm nominating this article for deletion as I believe it fails Notability (films), and I don't really think any amount of work can save it. I have the greatest respect for the men who fought at Arnhem, but I don't believe that a short film about the making of a music video about an event in the battle, is itself independently notable enough to warrant an article. The article seems to fail every criteria that would support inclusion in Notability (films), except perhaps point 5. Even then I don't believe there are sufficient reliable sources to back it up (note that only 3 of the 7 sources for the article are actually about the film, and only one is what I would describe as detailed enough). Any information here is better placed in one of the following articles; John Pott (British Army officer), Athlete (band), Black Swan (album) or Black Swan Song (if it gets expanded into an article, its currently just a redirect). Added to which, it would appear that the maker of the film himself created this article, and it seems a stretch to imagine that anyone else would have written it. Essentially I think it comes down to common sense. Hundreds of documentaries are released each day and very very few of them, of higher notability than this, would warrant an article.

 * Delete, perhaps with a suitable redirect to one of the above articles. Doesn't seem to pass WP:NF per nom. EyeSerene talk 20:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

'Black Swan Story' will be featuring in a Learning Pack, CD-Rom/ DVD, funded by The Legion and distributed in schools and learning centres from October 2010. The producers of the learning package extimate that will be '2.5 million young people accessing our resources'. I hope that with the information I have added you can reconsider deleting this page. - Richard Edkins. The film's imdb listing is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675822/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.111.60.15 (talk) 22:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
