Darius Goes West

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )


 * Delete. Not notable. About person with a wasting disease, pitiable and all that, but the film is not notable. Self-references and IMDB which is not copy-edited and therefore not considered reliable. Student7 (talk) 22:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

 * STRONG keep Easily meets WP:GNG and WP:NF. Apparently the nominator judged the current article (yes, needs cleanup and better sourcing) and failed to check for available sources before nominating.  While not wanting to underscore lack of WP:BEFORE, G-news find a great number of news articles for this film, AND about Darius Weems   And the film has won multiple awards  and critical acclaim. Seems like its time to fix, not delete.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:28, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Quite rare that a documentary film makes the impact as has this one... and rarer still for an independent film by teenagers. I have begun cleanup, expansion, and sourcing to the article, and ask that editors reading this discussion take a look at THIS and perhaps help out in improving and sourcing.  I also strongly urge that the nomninator seriously consider a wihdrawal.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:22, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Many of the awards are for minor film festivals which if taken on their own would not be sufficient. However, the shear number of awards received and the ongoing coverage shows it is clearly notable. The fact that it is being shown in a film festival in Kerala this year, over 3 years after its release, is also strong evidence towards it having lasting impact.

 * Keep, the Variety review alone and the sheer number of awards won make it a fairly obvious case, for me, anyway. Yes, some before WP:BEFORE work would have been nice. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:SNOW. Passes WP:NF.    Snotty Wong   talk 22:35, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
