El Cadáver Exquisito

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable film lacking Ghits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:NOTFILM.  ttonyb (talk) 17:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability asserted whatsoever. Wuh  Wuz  Dat  17:09, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, user: humanayo. It has notability in El Salvador, a film is not important only because is part of the mainstream lists in USA or Europe. The project belongs to the new post war wave of films created in El Salvador by young filmmakers who learn the skills abvroad and came back to the country to start producing movies. Probably none of you have ever seen a movie from El Salvador, made, produced, created and crafted there, that's a historical value. Also the movie is the first one from el salvador witha VOD strategy in USA.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanayo (talk • contribs) 17:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)  — Humanayo (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Comment – Saying something is important, does not make it so. All articles in Wikipedia must be notable as defined by Wikipedia guidelines.  In this case, notability is defined in WP:N and WP:NOTFILM. In addition, that notability must be supported by  verifiable, independent, secondary, reliable sources.  There is nothing in the article that meets the criteria in WP:NOTFILM using  verifiable, independent, secondary,  reliable sources.   ttonyb  (talk) 19:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment &mdash; Note that there is a 1969 Spanish film (The Exquisite Cadaver) with the same name. If this article is deleted, the name can be linked there.&mdash;RJH (talk) 17:49, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - This movie is not called the exquiste corpse, it is in Spanish and the title is El Cadáver Exqusito, it should not be redirected to the one in English. There are many movies with similar titles in the world. Part of the historical value of El cadaver Exquisito is the name, the movie talks about a country in cultural transition, El Salvador, whose main language is Spanish not English, so the project is designed to fit the cultural landscape not to alienate it. The movie in the film databases (imdb-mubi) appears in Spanish for that reason. (talk) 18:37, 13 February 2011


 * Comment – Based on the movie poster it sure appears the movie is called El Cadáver Exquisito.  ttonyb  (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - this is a project with a significant web presence and web activity along with the film. It is a visual, historical and social glimpse with a unique lens that provides an important insight into a transforming culture which otherwise may not be seen.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panpar (talk • contribs) 18:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)  — Panpar (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Comment – How does this meet the criteria in WP:NOTFILM using verifiable, independent, secondary,  reliable sources.   ttonyb  (talk) 19:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can find mentions of this film including some as part of the coverage about Victor Ruano. See, , .  However, I can find no significant coverage about this film.  Perhaps after it has made the rounds of the festival circuit, there will be reliable sources in the form of critical coverage or awards. -- Whpq (talk) 21:14, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
