Burning Rage

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

A seemingly non-notable film. All the reliabe sources I found are sites that only give a plot description. The New York Times link that I added doesn't make it notable, because the movies portion of NYT has info on like every movie, just like IMDB. Schuym1 (talk) 00:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Ugh, made-for-TV. This article was apparently created by a minor TV actress who noticed her own bio on Wikipedia. Not sure of the notability of that one, but I don't see any way the film meets WP:MOVIE's various criteria, so delete this article.--chaser - t 02:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow. She only has this as a film career... and edits her own biography??? Why is her article is even still on Wiki?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:42, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ugh is right. Its tough to find anything about a 24-year-old made-for-TV movie. All I could find were Varirty profile, RottenTomatoes, Barbara Mandrell at CorporateArtists, InBaseline, Hollywood.com, MovieRevie.ws, and Alibris.co.uk... among many other similar. Mostly blurbs. So yes... delete by all means.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:46, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - lack of reliable sources here. I doubt a TV movie with B- and C-list celebrities is remotely notable. Tony Fox (arf!) 03:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A made for TV movie with some well known (at one time) actors as Tom Wopat, Barbara Mandrell and Eddie Albert, which was shown on network TV, with numerous repeat broadcasts on TV, should not be dismissed as quickly as if it were an amateur film by high school students. The present guideline WP:MOVIE seems to place an unusually high bar for notability, compared to the low bar for every athlete who has played professionally, every politician who ever served in a state legislature, and every hamlet which ever had an inhabitant. When the film premiered, it received at least a description in a few sentences in the TV listings. In a quick search I could not find the refs to satisfy the unreasonably severe requirements this present guideline sets, and I suggest that the guideline itself needs closer examination.

 * That a film included notables, does not automatically make it notable. I am also concerned here with the original creation of the article by an actress who discovered her bio on wiki (see chaser's comments above) and violated WP:COI and WP:Auto in order to create a semblance of notability for herself.

 * A made-for TV movie on a major American network seems as encyclopedia as an episode of a series on that network, and at the very least deserves merger to an article about made-for tv movies on that network, rather than deletion. It cost millions to produce, and tens of millions saw it, numerous times. Edison2 (talk) 05:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It certainly fails WP:NF on its own. So where specifically do you think it could merge?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
