I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Fails WP:NF. Schuym1 (talk) 03:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 *  Keep or merge with respects to the nom. The film has had a wide internatonal release under 6 different names: Its Showtime, Crazy Animals, To Exypnotero theama tou kosmou (Greece), Jaws, Paws, Claws, Wonderful World of Those Cukoo Animals, and World of Those Cuckoo.  But since it was released 33 years ago (pre-internet/pre Wikipedia), online reviews might be a bit hard to find... though online verification is simple, .  Since it is a documentary specifically about notable film animals Rin Tin Tin, Flipper, Trigger, Cheetah, Daisy, Lassie, Asta, Trigger, and Tony, in relationship to and including footage of notble actors Charlie Chaplin, Roy Rogers, Bob Hope, Gene Autry, Gene Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Tom Mix, James Cagney, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Mae West, Errol Flynn, Jimmy Durante, Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Joe E. Brown, William Powell, Bing Crosby, Gregory Peck, Yul Brynner, and Myrna Loy, I am inclined to forgive the lack of reviews.  How can a widespread documentary about only notables not be notable?   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge: The relevant line in the notability guidelines; "The film features significant involvement (ie. one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career. An article on the film should be created only if there is enough information on it that it would clutter up the biography page of that person if it was mentioned there." The director qualifies as being a heavily involved notable on this project. So if it's too short, rewording it and sticking it in the Fred Weintraub article seems to be the best solution. - Mgm|(talk) 09:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * okay... Mgm got me thinkning... so I just spent some time to expand and source the Fred Weintraub article. How best to do a merge? !!!!


 * Merge and/or redirect: not sufficiently notable on its own. JamesBurns (talk) 02:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * After exanding the director's article, I included the It's Showtime informations. Nicely too. Effectively a suitable merge. I now rescind my "keep".  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Can an independent admin close this. Since it is now merged and sourced, I don't see a valid reason for deletion anymore. - Mgm|(talk) 01:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
