Eames: the architect and the painter

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Recent documentary film. No attempt made to show notability. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment I wrote a short squib less than 24 hours, and have seen it PRODed twice in that time, second time by the nominator. I don't know if the number of Google hits speaks to likely notability, but I get over a million. (though I don't know how to avoid repetition.)  It is possible that this article needs a better author rather than deletion. I'm not arguing for a keep, but for the subject to be considered before a decision is made to delete.

 * Keep. Reviews in the New York Times, Seattle Times, Hollywood Reporter and a gazillion other places make this a no-brainer. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep as User:Clarityfiend has easily established that this film meets notability criteria. I sympathyze with its author User:Jd2718 and suggest that in the future he consider beginning articles in a user workspace and so avoid them being negatively evaluated when in their infant stages. Had it looked as it does now I seriously doubt that User:Jsfouche or User:RHaworth would have suggested its removal. Kudos to Clarityfiend for his improvments. Well done. I suggest that now that concerns have been addressed, the nom consider a withdrawal of his nomination.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to meet WP:GNG as there is significant coverage in reliable sources which were not evident when the article was created (even though it may not meet WP:NFILM). I also suggest the author submit at Articles for Creation as we give feedback there before the article is posted on the mainspace and subject to deletion criteria.  jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 02:08, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Don't know what the article looked like when nominated, but looks solidly sourced now. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:59, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, since it's obviously notable, and a trout-slap for RHaworth. Before nominating an article for deletion, you're supposed to research its notability yourself, per WP:BEFORE. Doing so in this case would've saved everybody a lot of time and bother. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
