Bullet Time (2008 movie)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The subject does not seem to meet WP:N and WP:V. There are no independent reliable sources in the article and I can't find any either. Prolog (talk) 06:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Check the references. There is a link to an independent "Traktor Królewski" magazine as a source. The magazine is not connected with the creators of the film in any way and its a reliable publication. In the article I even included a link to the archived issue of the magazine that contains the review and an interview with the director of the film. This source and links were there from the very moment when the article was created. The article in question is in Polish and you didn't list a proficiency in that language in your profile. Therefore I don't think that you should qualify the sources for the article without at least fluent knowledge of the Polish language.(Wilhelm Klave (talk) 12:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC))
 * Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but Google Translate indicates that the magazine is run by students and not by professional journalists, and the circulation is very small (250 in January 2006, 925 in February 2009). I think the interview could still be used as a source, but it does not establish the notability of the topic. Prolog (talk) 06:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. The film does not meet any of the criteria set out in WP:FILMNOT. I attempted to search for multiple instances of significant coverage in realiable sources to see if the could qualify for WP:N but I have not been able to locate any such sources. The subject of the article appears to be an amateur creation with little encyclopedic value that is unlikely to become notable but I have no prejudice towards recreation of the article should it ever meet notability criteria. The SILKRAT group that created the video seems to be a group of amateur filmmakers whose main (or only) achievements have been to upload their self-made videos to their own YouTube Channel. Most of the article, including the plot section (even though, per WP:FILMPLOT, it can be sourced from the film itself) seems to consist of a large degree of original research, eg. claiming that a certain character "is based on Melissa "Missy" Jenkins, a survivor of the 1997 school shooting in Paducah" etc. It is a synthesis of previously published material used to reach a conclusion that has not been explicitly stated by any source provided.

 * Delete: I found zero sources. This is a non-notable Youtube movie. Joe Chill (talk) 23:30, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
