Homeless in a College Town

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Author deleted PROD, so moving to AfD. Fails WP:FILMNOT -- only second-party coverage is brief and only in small mostly-local publications. Iago Qnsi (talk) 19:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Non-notable film by blatant COI SPA (now blocked); no evidence of notability submitted. (I especially liked the SPA's removal of the PROD with the specious and misleading edit summary of "Added reference for awards section."  Such sources that are presented are bits from small local papers, interviews of the sort debarred by WP:ROUTINE, and blogsites.  The only article from a significant reliable source -- the Hartford Courant one -- is a blatant press release.  For what it's worth, I've never heard of the filmmakers, and I both live in the next town over and subscribe to the county's alternative arts weekly.   Ravenswing   23:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep They're only blocked because of the username issue, at present. A Gnews search does reveal distinct bylined news articles from several Mass. newspapers and news sites. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:38, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Some of these appear to be somewhat primary, as they're written by the college. However... I do see that the cow sculpture appears to have been directly influenced by the film so we may be able to justify notability for this by including a subsection for the sculpture specifically.

 * Although it might be better to try to see if we could have one article for the film company and mention the cow and film in one subsection. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:42, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Umm ... what would make that cow sculture notable? It's featured in nothing beyond the same small town weekly press as the subject.  And since notability isn't inherited even were the sculture highly notable ...    Ravenswing   08:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. purely local. no encyclopedic interest.  DGG ( talk ) 06:19, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete actually because although my searches easily found local news articles at News and browsers, they are still not solid enough thus the article is still simply questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
