Gay Republicans (2004 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems to fail the general notability guideline. No refs outside of IMDb. NYyankees51 (talk) 19:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. References have now been supplied for 2 substantive reviews, which also note that this documentary was broadcast on Trio, a then-existing national channel.  Here's another one, from the Hartford Courant. Also, per the Los Angeles Times, this film won the best documentary award at the 2004 AFI Fest,.  A notable documentary by a notable director; there may have been some confusion here because director Wash Westmoreland's name was misspelled.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep As per Arxiloxos and added sources. There are several other reviews, but they are behind pay-per-view walls and I can't reach them with my meagre wallet. - ManicSpider (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article has been improved and reliable sources added to address the nominator's concern. I would have encouraged him to have looked for potential sources before having nominated an improvable article. WP:HEY anyone?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:56, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I got the same result as Dusti did above. NYyankees51 (talk) 20:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A proper search involves more than clicking the above link for "Gay Republicans (2004 film)". There are many more hits if you drop "(2004)" and search "Gay Republicans" + "film" or + "movie" or + "Westmoreland". Location (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, good search often means more than just clicking the occasionally uselss find sources proffered by an AFD template. Not scolding.... just meant to be encouraging. As nominator, do you feel your concerns have now been addressed?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. NYyankees51 (talk) 04:36, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
