Catherine et Compagnie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a movie which does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NMOVIE. There does not seem to be anything significant about this movie to make it notable or worthy of inclusion. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 16:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep The article is a stub but appears to have been notable enough for inclusion on The New York Times website. Neptune&#39;s Trident (talk) 17:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Darn stubby and needs work, yes. But is it unsourcable?  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 17:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've added reviews from The New York Times, Time Out, and a characteristically restrained John Simon review for New York calling it "the most offensive dungheap masquerading as a movie to be seen in years, perhaps ever." The longer version of Simon's review is included in his book Something to Declare, unfortunately viewable on GBooks only in a snippet.   The New York theatrical release of this film was almost exactly 40 years ago, and the internet will give up its secrets about that ancient time only imperfectly, but other snippets of commentary can be seen at GBooks. Obviously not a great film, but clearly passes our usual standards for film notability, and if nothing else a notable part of the filmographies of both Jane Birkin and Catherine Breillat. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as reliable sources such as The New York Times and New York have been added to the article I think WP:GNG is passed.Atlantic306 (talk) 03:58, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as easily sourcable via GBooks, where there are plenty of mentions about the film. While most are snippets, they show it was discussed/reviewed by Variety (as it is included in the 14th volume of Variety Film Reviews), Cahiers du cinéma ("issues 161-176"), L'Express ("issues 1747-1754") and more. It also has an entry in several encyclopedias, historical books and dictionaries of French cinema. Side note, putting myself in nominator's shoes, even if the article looked very bad and if I would had not found anything, before nominating the film for deletion I would asked myself "how many chances there are a film involving Boisrond, Breillat, Birkin, Brialy, Dewaere, Caprioli, Aumont, Cosma, Garcin, Dora Doll fails GNG and NFILM?" and then I would tagged the article requiring a better sourcing, or even for notability.

 * Keep per improvements bearing out my original thoughts. WP:NF is met.   Schmidt,  Michael Q. 17:22, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
