 * Delete - I found a couple of sources: and . However, the first article only minimally discusses this film in an overview of other ice skating movies, and the second is a self-published blog. Perhaps there are more sources offline due to the film's age, but chances seem slim that an 80's English-language made-for-TV movie is notable without the internet having more on it.--  Atlantima  ~ ✿ ~ ( talk ) 02:24, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Changing my !vote to Keep based on new evidence of multiple awards and offline sources.-- Atlantima  ~ ✿ ~ ( talk ) 15:22, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep and continue improvements. I find it quite difficult to believe a multiple Gemini Awards-winning film did not receive any commentary or review. Then I looked at the poor "Find sources" set up by the AFD template and realized it did not do readers a service. Let's do a proper search shall we, before condemning an award-winning film.

 * Just a few better search suggestions. More possible:


 * Keep -- Nominated for 5 Gemini Awards and the winner of 3 including the 1988 Best TV Movie, it passes the notability criteria for WP:MOVIE. As mentioned by MQS, the commonly known name is Skate, so that is the name to be found in sources such as the Toronto Star and a review on page 199 of the book A Century of Canadian Cinema. — Cactus Writer (talk) 01:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
