George and the Dragon (film)

Fails WP:NFO, WP:NFSOURCES and WP:SIGCOV. I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I did a WP:BEFORE and found a link from Variety. Needs more coverage in order to be eligible. The Film Creator (talk) 18:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not all the films are notable, and this one doesn't seem to meet Notability (films). My BEFORE hits seem to be unrelated to the movie, or unreliable, but ping me if good sources are found, and I'll reconsider my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: A quick note here - the article has it labeled as a SyFy film but there seems to be some evidence it may have screened before then. I'm not really finding evidence of it airing or screening and most of what I'm finding seems to be likely referencing this Wikipedia article. Offhand this looks like it was a film made for theaters but for whatever reason couldn't find a distributor, so it landed on TV.

 * Delete. Searching for coverage for this was a mess, as there are multiple claims as to when it first screened, who distributed it, and so on. Best I can tell, this was made with high hopes that it would be a blockbuster film and it (supposedly) screened at a couple of film festivals. It never got a distributor for a theatrical release, so it inevitably went the route of home video and TV release. There's not a lot of sourcing for this, as the reliable stuff I could find mentions the theatrical plans and the mentions of it being made directly for TV look to have been more recently released and likely base their info on the Wikipedia article. Now in all of that I couldn't find any good coverage of the film itself, let alone a review. This just looks like it was one of many films that were created but languished on a studio shelf until it could find a buyer, only for it to then just never get any attention. I'd say it sank into obscurity but that would imply that it gained significant attention in the first place, no slight intended against the film itself.
