Crime Follows Punishment (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Film is not notable, with only one verifiable and reliable source which really isn't informative.

This article was created by the same editor who created an article on another movie by the same director so clearly using Wikipedia to promote the small film. Bidgee (talk) 12:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete and userfy to author if requested, Userfy to the author or Incubate until such time as this recent release receives more coverage and article can be better sourced.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:15, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment According to them, the film was released in April 2009, plenty of time for coverage but it hasn't received any and is unlikely to. Bidgee (talk) 22:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Even search engines specific to Australian cinema show difficulty due to the film's title being a phrase used in many other articles totally unrelated to any specific film. Userfication allows the author time to offer the Australian sources. If he wants the article to be in mainspace, he has the motivation perhaps to then find sources... and the project is improved. If he does not, Wikipedia will have lost nothing more than the few seconds needed to do the move. And yes... I have already opined about the other article from the author being premature.

 * Michael, given that the film was essentially a one-man show (written, produced, directed, acted, edited, probably even catered by one guy) any coverage of the film would include his name. Adding "Joshua Finch" to "Crime Follows Punishment" easily limits the search beyond any random use of the phrase. For example, a general google search finds 19 hits -- mostly related to Wiki or Facebook. And no mention from searches of sources like In Film, Inside Film Magazine or Screen Australia — Cactus Writer |   needles  19:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Modified my comment above because I accept that what it lacks in notability "now" is a situation that could change if it receives distribution.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - No significant coverage has been found. The article states the film was screened (usually meaning a one-night showing) in a couple local theaters in Sydney and then went to DVD (but has no distribution company) -- so, no significant coverage should be expected. Even a search of the one possible significant source provided, Inside Film Magazine, does not find that referenced article, the author or any mention of the film or director. — Cactus Writer |   needles  19:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
