Fighting Ebola Outbreak Street by Street

I don't think this meets WP:GNG. As the subject was produced by The New York Times, the NYTimes coverage is not independent of the subject. The Good Short Films coverage is of an impressive depth at first glance, but checking the site's information, they don't appear to disclose editorial policies, and the article's copious amounts of grammatical and spelling errors does not inspire confidence in the publication's reliability. Other than that, I was able to find some websites hosting the subject video, but no other secondary coverage. signed,Rosguill talk 01:23, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. The subject is an engaging short documentary, but it does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. I agree with Rosguill's analysis of the NYT and Good Short Films sources. My WP:BEFORE turned up a few additional sources, but nothing that would establish notability. The video is given a few sentences in a "What We're Watching" piece from the San Francisco Chronicle, which doesn't qualify as significant coverage. I was also able to find this short blog post about the video from StoryMineMedia, which doesn't seem like a reliable source. The documentary received an award in the 2015 Digital Storytelling Contest from the World Press Photo Foundation; however, I would not consider this to be a "major award" as described at WP:NFOE. That's everything I was able to dig up through Google. I was not able to find any reviews or news coverage that would satisfy WP:NFSOURCES. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 02:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
