Deadly Impact

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Straight-to-DVD movie with no indication of notability. I found a single review in a low-profile publication, there are a couple of interviews with the director, and that's all. The article itself is a mess, overly detailed, convoluted plot summary and little else, and even that "little else" manages to contain errors. Even if the film were notable, WP:TNT would be an improvement. Huon (talk) 17:40, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination, and a hearty thanks for Tokyogirl79. That was an impressive effort. I dare say, though, that rewriting it from scratch wouldn't have been that much more of an effort - and the parts remaining from the original are suspect. Huon (talk) 17:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Three reviews by reliable publications exist. DVD Verdict: Two DVD Talks:  . There is also a brief review here. According to IMDb the Mansfield News Journal also reviewed it, but their link is dead and I can't find any archives. In any case, this movie seems to pass WP:NFILM.

 * I also fully disagree with TNTing it. There's nothing here outrageously terrible that a good copyedit couldn't fix.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 19:07, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per multiple available sources... lots available and some now added which show the topic as meeting WP:GNG and thus WP:NF.  Issues with tone or style call for editorial attention as has been done, but not deletion.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and TNT. This is a notable film that requires a shorter, concise plot summary and more "out-of-universe" treatment. –   Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 03:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Question:    Perhaps you would like to build a new version in a sandbox and offer it here for consideration?  The essay TNT itself suggests starting over as an option only when something is "so hopelessly irreparable that the only solution is to blow it up and start over."  As issues have begun being addressed, and in appreciating 's contradictory "keep and TNT", just how is it you feel this "so hopelessly irreparable"?

 * Keep. I've cleaned up the article considerably and the plot section is about half the size it was, which makes it manageable enough for a plot section. I've also moved the reviews down to their own section, so that should be fleshed out as well. At this point there isn't any reason to delete the article, as the biggest issues (notability and plot section) have been dealt with. There is a section (production) that is unsourced, but that should be easy enough to find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:32, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a SUPERB bit of editorial attention. Reducing the plot summary without detracting what informs the reader is exactly what this article required. Perhaps the nominator might acknowledge his concerns as addressed and withdraw his nomination.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 10:53, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: A notable film based on the sources found. SL93 (talk) 17:04, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
