Buffalo Boys (2013 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A film that does not seem to pass the WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Although the article seems to have a copious amount of sources and external links, looking through them reveals that none of them actually appear to be genuine coverage in reliable sources, being things like press releases, blogs, and non-notable websites. Pretty much the best coverage the film got was only in small, local and college periodicals. Searching for sources turned up no professional reviews or coverage in reliable sources that I could find. Rotten Tomatoes also does not list any reviews for the film. The film's only claim to notability appears to be winning minor prizes at largely non-notable film festivals. Please note that there was a more notable film with the same name (Buffalo Boys (2018 film)), but it is unrelated to this film.

 * Comment I did not find much information about this 2013 film. Some of the reviews in the article appear to be blogs, and the movie does not have wide coverage. I see that it won an award for Best Coming of Age Film at the 2013 Manhattan Film Festival. Also a write up in the Buffalo International Film Festival. A few other minor awards. I am not ready to make a determination as we do have some interviews, a review in the Spectrum (a student publication). Many of the links in the article are dead now, and some of the archives are dead. I will keep looking and I will nominate the film at ARS and see if editors are able to work on the article.

 * Film festival win might be notable. There's an Indonesian film with the same name from a few years later that has more coverage. Weak keep based on the festival award, but I can't find any coverage of it online (dead links as explained above). Oaktree b (talk) 16:53, 16 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete I will boldly put this out of its misery. Not every film ever made is notable. Franky, this is a minor film with very little attention given to it. -- Green  C  16:58, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with GreenC, not every film ever created is notable. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 03:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
