These movies seem to all be non-notable because I can't find any reliable sources that shows the movies' notability (except one review). Schuym1 (talk) 23:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Wide releases by a major studio (Fox in this case) are notable, especially when they relate to a major franchise, which Bratz is. If precedent exists for combining such made-for-DVD motion pictures into a single article, then go for it. 23skidoo (talk) 01:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * From the guidelines, The film is widely distributed and has received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics. It has not received two full length reviews. Being released by a major studio (unless it isn't a major film producing country) and being part of a franchise does not make a movie notable (according to Wikipedia guidelines).

 * Sorry, and with respects, that is an incorrect interpretation. Your "quote" is from a subsection of WP:NF, from part of a list that follows this statement: "The following are attributes that generally indicate, when supported with reliable sources, that the required sources are likely to exist", which simply means that if it had "reviews by two or more nationally known critics", then then the WP:RS would "likely" exist. It does not madate that it must have such to quaify, only that having such would be an indicator that sources were likely available... and this as an encouragement for editors to be diligent in their searches for sources. Per the reviews I found and added to each nominated article(as listed below), the Bratz films pass WP:N, WP:NF, WP:GNG, WP:V, and WP:RS. Thank you for bringing these forward so those issues could be properly addressed.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per the guidelines WP:GNG, WP:NF, WP:N... and thorough google searches that show the entire Bratz series notable. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. Just a matter of looking.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That only proves that the live action movie is notable. Schuym1 (talk) 23:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What search parameter did you use to check notability?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:18, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: For myself, I used parameter, and I found much more than one single review. Here are a few...
 * DVDmg review
 * DVDverdict review
 * Entertainment.kaboose review
 * Digitallyobsessed review
 * NYTimes review
 * epinions review
 * And there are many more. I have added these to article Bratz: Starrin & Stylin'. I believe I have addressed the Nom's concern.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:59, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just added these to Bratz Genie Magic
 * DVDverdict review
 * DVDtalk review
 * Rottentomatoes review
 * CDuniverse review
 * Commonsensemedia review
 *  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just added one to Bratz Forever Diamondz. There is difficulty because of the many popular reviews of the video game by the same name.
 * DS.ign review
 *  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And just added these to the last on the nom's list, Bratz Kidz: Sleep-Over Adventure:
 * CDuniverse review
 * Reviewstream review
 * Movieweb review
 * Kaboddle review
 * Movies.msn review
 * However it is granted that some of these reviews are mere blurbs, and not extensive in-depth insight and commentary... but after all, these are direct-to-dvd videos targeted toward pre-teen girls... not a major feature. I do believe I have addressed the nom's concern  that there was only one review out there. Thanks,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
