The result was   keep. per WP:SNOW. When even the nominator changes their !vote to Keep, then a different outcome is highly unlikely. (non-admin closure) &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  23:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Kick-Heart

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, and it lacks any references. Videomaniac29 (talk) 10:17, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It's a Production I.G film directed by Masaaki Yuasa that has aired on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim's Toonami block along with being screened at the Fantasia Festival (and numerous other major festivals), is vying for an Annie Award and an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film after having already won several festival awards, and received a massive amount of donations on Kickstarter.--MoonMetropolis (talk) 10:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment If this is notable, then suitable references should be added to show its notability. Videomaniac29 (talk) 10:51, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This article is only two days old, and is clearly a work in progress. Also, please follow WP:BEFORE in the future, if you do intend to nominate newly made articles for deletion. This film clearly meets notability guidelines and despite being rather stubby, has great prospects for improvement. 209.255.230.32 (talk) 16:44, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added quite a bit of sourcing to the article. It's not as much as say, Iron Man 3, but it's enough to show that this short film has received enough coverage to merit an article. Even if it doesn't get any of the other awards it's trying for, this is enough for the here and now. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   16:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - This has been widely covered in North American news sources that cover anime, and sources have been added to the article. Also, I just want to mention that when I click the "news" link from this AFD I get very different results than when I search in Google News myself without using the link, apparently because the link from the AFD is set to search "archives" (i.e., only older news stories) while the news stories covering this are recent.  That might be a deficiency in how the "news" link for the AFD is set up. Calathan (talk) 17:38, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Having searched Google News, it seems that its notability is obvious. Videomaniac29 (talk) 21:49, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
