Bye Bye Birdie (1995 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD with rationale Unsourced, mainly a casting list and a small blurb. was removed before fixing the verifiability issue mentioned. Therefore I'm listing it here, as it has no sources, consists of a cast and song list with no actual encyclopedic content (besides a very small lead section). WP:BEFORE check failed to bring up anything of note as well, so it likely also fails WP:NFILM. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 20:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Procedural chill for a minute: This article has existed for four hours at the time that it's nominated for deletion. It is still being built by the person who created it. The problems you're talking about can be solved by editing (by you, if you care about it) and doesn't have to be speedy deleted. — Toughpigs (talk) 20:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I considered dratifying but at the time there was little encyclopedic content. Nominated simply because they removed the PROD without fixing the issues listed. Will withdraw if issues are fixed, obviously. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 21:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect The tv movie has had a section on the primary article (with more informative details) for several years. The 1995 film isn't really stand-alone notable, only as an iteration of the primary. Schazjmd   (talk)  21:01, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable because it has been reviewed by Variety, People, TV Guide, and Los Angeles Times. It also looks like it was covered by Entertainment Weekly at least. Also, it won a Primetime Emmy for one of its songs. All this supports a standalone article. The content at Bye Bye Birdie can be spun off to this article.

 * To clarify how I performed WP:BEFORE, I recognized Jason Alexander as a famous enough actor and put in the search query bye bye birdie jason alexander. When I saw the Variety review, I added review to the query and found the other reviews. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 21:08, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: In addition to what Erik just wrote, I've got a New York Times review as well. Searching for "bye bye birdie 1995" brought up reviews in the New York Times, Variety and the LA Times within the first 20 results. I also added a sentence about the Emmy Awards nominations and win. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:30, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Emmy-winning film with multiple reviews. When I Google search bye bye birdie 1995 review, the first two results are the Variety and New York Times reviews. Not sure how that was missed in WP:BEFORE...--DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:39, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
