Killing Ed: Charter Schools, Corruption and the Gülen Movement in America

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I see fairly little coverage, mostly in the form of organizations advertising their showings of the film. Doesn't seem to meet WP:N, despite the HuffPo piece. Largoplazo (talk) 02:19, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: The HuffPo piece was part of their blogs, so it wouldn't be seen as a RS on here because it's a SPS essentially, as the HuffPo doesn't really regulate that section of their site. I did find this, but the article on the Daily Sabah gives off the impression that they're not a non-partial site on the topic of the Gulen movement and probably wouldn't be a RS in general.

 * I also found this, but I'm getting press release vibes from it for some reason. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Found this and this too, but not sure of how much of a RS the sites are. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:40, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * So far I only have two in-depth RS, an interview with the Wichita Eagle and an article in the OC Weekly. It's pretty weak sauce, unless any of the above can be used. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:46, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I see a few points. First, producer Mark Hall is an experienced documentarian and this isn't exactly a local-interest only work. Also, on top of the sources already listed, there is this story in the Houston Press (an alternative weekly). However, I agree that coverage has been a bit sparse and fringe. Given the continued relevance of Gülen and the continued importance of the charter school movement, this film could continue to receive light coverage and eventually meet GNG/point #2 of Notability (films). Currently, I'm not sure. Smmurphy(Talk) 15:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
