Hell or High Water (2017 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFILM. Previously AfD'd at Articles for deletion/Axe of Vengeance, however many editors objected on the basis of WP:TRAINWRECK, so I am nominating the relevant ones individually.  SITH   (talk)   23:05, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I really expected this one might be a case for deletion, as it's a 30-minute short film, and American short films get approximately zero media attention. I was wrong. The Pulse source already cited appears to be a reliable source. Here's another full review in a reliable media outlet. And here's a significant review and discussion of the film from Nigerian LGBT media. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree with Squamish Ossifrage that the Pulse review is helpful, but I was initially going to opine delete until the other two sources were brought forward, as there seems to be little coverage. I'm still on the fence on whether they are enough, however. I'm unfamiliar with the publications, and being LGBT doesn't translate to reliable or notable to me - it could still operate as a gossip blog or tabloid. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 18:42, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Correct, although in this case, the site appears to be a reliable media outlet, and is regularly cited by other Nigerian media concerning its topic of focus (and its role as an LGBT media outlet is germane to this article because of the content of the film in question).

 * Keep per the sources provided by Squeamish Ossifrage. Pulse Nigeria is owned by Ringier, a notable media group that has been around since the 1800s.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 01:30, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
