I originally thought this had just enough to satisfy WP:N, but upon closer inspection I discovered all but two of the sources were published months and in some cases years before the documentary series was created. The two that were published after the series premiered are trivial. Great for expanding background information, but not for proving notability. 2 says you, says two 22:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going ahead and withdrawing this, didn't realize documentaries are held to a different notability standard. 2 says you, says two 15:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see. Thanks for being very specific about its conflicted notability. I couldn’t find any article notable enough that has been written since the series premiered, so please feel free to delete that page. —Brampitoyo, 23:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Nowhere in the notability policy does it state that sources must treat a subject within a particular time frame. It only requires significant coverage from reliable, independent sources, and does not state (or even imply) that this coverage be after or during an event. If we had such a rule, books written after a historical event or biographies written after a person's lifetime would not count towards notability. Now that would be silly, wouldn't it? Even if the articles aren't quite as good for verifying what has gone to date now that the series has started, they are significant enough attention from good sources to solidify notability.

 * I would agree with your rationale if we were talking about the Portland independent music scene itself. However, the sources given do not discuss the notability of the documentary series "Don't Move Here" with the reason being that they were published long before the series was even produced. Since notability is not inherited, just because of the mere fact a documentary series is made about a notable musical movement does not mean that the documentary series is automatically notable. 2 says you, says two 14:07, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not talking about the sources that are more focused on the music scene in general. I'm talking about the links like the ones from Willamette Week and The Portland Mercury, which are award-winning media outlets generally considered reliable sources. Both the posts from WW and Mercury are exclusive coverage mentioning Don't Move Here as a noteworthy project. Steven Walling  23:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * In addition to this, I also made sure that I am citing from nationally recognized media outlets like The Fader, rather than just local or regional ones. —Brampitoyo, 21:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

 * weak keep as documentary films rarely get the coverage of big budget blockbusters. That sources wrote of the plans to create the documentary series months in advance of release is coverage none-the-less and even if established early, notability is not temporary.
