Blood of the Samurai

 * Delete. Seems to be a forgotten low budget movie that was poorly reviewed and didn't get much attention. Not notable; fails WP:MOVIE. - Iago Qnsi (talk) 07:23, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think there's probably enough coverage here to keep it.  Reviews:  from DVD Talk,  from Ain't It Cool News, and  from Film Threat, which I can't access right now because the Internet Archive is down for maintenance (but it's linked from the IMDb).

While I'm usually a bit dismissive of local coverage when it comes to notability, I think this can help flesh out the article, and it also discusses some awards that the film won.  It also spawned a local TV series.  So, apparently, it did have some impact, even if it was small and local.  There's also mention of an article in Filmmaker, but the best I can find is a little blurb in the snippet view on Google Books: . NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:54, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. I expanded the article and added some sources.  It makes more of a claim to notability now. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
