Caroline at Midnight

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NFO; has only one review. Needs two or more reviews in order to be eligible. Found sole review at Rotten Tomatoes and nothing else at a WP:BEFORE search. The Film Creator (talk) 19:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Leaning keep'. TV Guide has this. There is also a four-paragraph review in The Missoulian on 4 March 1994, albeit a small newspaper. The film was pretty prolific on tv in 1994 (Newspapers.com: 1,531 Matches · "Caroline at Midnight" "mia sara" from 1994), and the Miami Herald 8 May 1994 lists it in the tv listing along with two stars, indicating a review has been made. The film score has actually been released. Geschichte (talk) 05:20, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added sources to the article. The New York Times states the film dates from 1993 not 1994. The is likely true as Variety lists the film among R rated releases in December 1993. However, it didn't hit cable TV until 1994, which is probably why it's been dated to 1994 in other sources. In doing a source hunt in ProQuest, the film was a regular on cable (Cinemax, TMC, and Showtime) in 1994 and 1995; appearing almost weekly on one station or another during those years. As such, it had wide distribution beyond the direct-to-video market. The TMC airing of the show (with film critic Joe Bob Briggs interviewing producer Roger Corman) was reviewed in The New York Times; although the article was more focused on Corman's B-movie and direct-to-video career than actually analyzing the film. There are lots of hits in google books, with a few that look like they may contain reviews but which are not available for view. I think with the sources I added to the article and the sources provided by Geschichte  the film passes NFO and GNG; but for doubters if you lump in the potential sources in google books this is a solid keep.4meter4 (talk) 21:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
