Dying to Dance

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to fail WP:NFILM. No reviews found in a BEFORE.

PROD removed because of "notable cast", but notability isn't inherited. Donald D23  talk to me  02:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete.  A Canadian made-for-tv movie will not have much coverage; they used to film here because the US dollar made it cheaper, and they don't have to pay health insurance for the workers... I searched on .ca websites and nothing for RS. Oaktree b (talk) 03:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Oaktree b Seeing as the film isn't notable as per Wikipedia's standards, I agree, delete this one (but your rude comments about Canada as a country you typed there need not apply). The film might be worth mentioning on Rick Springfield's page, because him starring in it is really the main and only reason I can find for why it's known.

 * It's not rude, it's the truth. Canada was the land of cheap tv production at the time, and still is, to an extent. And most tv movies are made to be shown once and quickly forgotten about, almost like the pulp magazines of the past. That's my two cents anyway. Oaktree b (talk) 12:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I found zero critical reviews in a WP:BEFORE search on Rotten Tomatoes, Wikipedia Library, and Proquest. I don't think this film is notable despite having notable cast members. Jfire (talk) 03:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Simply having some notable actors in the cast is not an automatic notability freebie for a film in and of itself, but like everybody else I can't find any notability-boosting coverage here. I'd recommend not getting sidetracked by arguing with each other about tangential issues, however — Oaktree does have a valid point, in that disposable television films of no enduring significance do get made in Canada on a regular basis (says guy whose developing hometown film industry cranks out at least three or four Hallmark Channel romance films a year now), but that clearly wasn't intended as a blanket swipe against all Canadian film and television production across the board (says guy whose developing hometown film industry also gave us Letterkenny and Shoresy and Slasher and Men with Brooms). Canada makes both notable and non-notable films, just as the United States makes both notable and non-notable films and the United Kingdom makes both notable and non-notable films and on and so forth. Two things can both be true at the same time, eh? Bearcat (talk) 15:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I also grew up on the shores of Lake Ramsey with Science North! Small world. Actually in the Valley to the East of you. Oaktree b (talk) 20:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Heh. Thoreau book to the west here, but we're all one greater city now, eh? Bearcat (talk) 06:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
