 * Delete. This looks like it was one of several films and other media that was released to capitalize in on the 2012 phenomenon. Despite having some decent star power, it looks to have been pretty solidly ignored in the media other than basic TV listings and "this is playing tonight" blurbs. No actual articles or reviews to speak of, as far as I can tell. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  11:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Reviews at Blu-ray.com (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Doomsday-Prophecy-Blu-ray/43753/#Review) and DVD Talk (https://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s3908doom.html) Donaldd23 (talk) 11:50, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * These aren't valid sources, are they? At least blu-ray.com isn't. AdoTang (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure if they've been discussed anywhere on Wikipedia, but they are on many articles and I have seen them used in AfD discussions before. Donaldd23 (talk) 20:53, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * DVD Talk is a reliable source, bluray.com has not been assessed as far as I know, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:21, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak delete Though the cast are notable, this has no major coverage outside of routine tv listings, and no major reviews. Not sure about Blue-ray.com, though DVD Talk might be reliable I do not think it is enough for this article on its own. Only other source I could find was a passing mention at The Hollywood Reporter on the announcement of the film, but I do not think that is enough. Anonymous 7481 (talk) 17:58, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd have to say a definite no on the reliability of Blu-ray.com, which is clearly an online video store whose reviews are no more notability-making than the user comments on an Amazon product or an IMDb page — whereas DVD Talk would probably be acceptable as one source in a mix of solid sources, but isn't strong enough to get a film over the notability bar all by itself if it's all we can find. And otherwise, all I'm getting is TV listings, a glancing acknowledgement of this film's existence in coverage of a completely different film Jason Bourque tried to make after this one, and purely coincidental text matches in articles that were actually about the Roland Emmerich film 2012. Nothing helpful, in other words. Bearcat (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This is a keep from me, but only as I've seen the film and I think it's a low budget classic. There are listings on well known UK sites like RadioTimes.com and plenty of reviews on Thrillist and well known B-Movie sites, but I think this is a case of region-specifics. I think it's more well known in the UK. Asangersgrant (talk) 2219, 15 June 2021 (BST)
 * A listing on a database like RadioTimes does not contribute to significant coverage of the topic. I would be interested in seeing the reviews from Thrillist and others if you could list them. BOVINEBOY 2008 22:39, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. The film has an entry in this German language reference work: It also has an entry in  It's enough to pass WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 20:17, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not confident the first source constitutes as significant coverage. It seems like it purely lists films that were released on Blu-Ray, basically a reference source and not actual coverage. The second is interesting! BOVINEBOY 2008 10:51, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I can understand that point of view. However, I think its inclusion within an academic lexicon of films shows a certain degree of significance. Granted it's a source that lends itself more to including this film in a list as opposed to a stand alone article. However, the other source is a review; so in balance I think we could build an article with these two sources and those cited above.4meter4 (talk) 14:03, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete – Outside of Sharknado, almost no Syfy Saturday night TV movie is going to pass WP:GNG/WP:NFILM/WP:TVSHOW. The article's current two sources don't get it there. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:44, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
