Descent (2007 film)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails to establish notability for apparently independent film that Yahoo claims grossed over $13,000 at the box office. Mike Vitale  20:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. See WP:N. Subdolous 20:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * keep - Rotten tomatoes throws up 25 reviews. . Article already has NYT Review and IMDB as references, which I would have htought would be enough to establish notability, and evne if that's not the case should afd really be your first port of call if an article could be sourced better?

 * Comment: Imdb references are never reliable and should never be used for claims of notability. Corvus cornix 21:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the article. The film was reviewd by the NY Times, that should add to it's notability71.187.237.12 23:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A google search reveals quite a few reviews and interviews. Certainly notable enough to keep the page.Alberon 00:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: Meets the notability standards for contemporary films:  "...a great many contemporary films are, due to their critical reception and large volume of published material, sufficiently notable to merit their own articles."  A search of the Movie Review Query Engine (mrqe.com) shows this film has been reviewed by numerous major, notable publications, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, New York Post, Variety, Time Out, and The Hollywood Reporter.  Other searches would probably find several more, but that's more than sufficient media attention.  The article needs to be expanded, not deleted.-Hal Raglan 01:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: 25 reviews from major media sources like the LA Times, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Village Voice, NY Daily News, NY Times, NY Post, etc. --Kanamekun 12:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Not to be confused with the brilliant 'The Descent' of course but this one was still widely reviewed. As these reviews are easily avaliable online one wonders why this film was nominated in the first place. Nick mallory 13:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
