Last Man Running (film)

Fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Nothing found in a WP:BEFORE except for a single review from eFilmCritic.com which could be usable, but at least two reviews are required per NFILM.  𓃦 LunaEatsTuna  (💬) 04:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment: I found a review from Variety. I'm still not entirely happy with the amount of coverage since the only substantial coverage would be those two reviews. I get kind of a Spidey sense that there are probably more reviews out there but I can't find any concrete evidence of this. This could probably redirect to the author's page with history so that if/when we do find that coverage, it can be restored.

 * To clarify, is eFilmCritic a reliable source? I couldn't find significant editorial policies, the be a critic guideline doesn't seem to indicate a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. It is on Rotten Tomatoes but per WP:RSP Reviewers tracked by Rotten Tomatoes are not automatically reliable for their reviews, while there is no consensus on whether their "Top Critics" are generally reliable, and it is also not a Tomatometer-approved organisation. I also didn't find substantial WP:USEBYOTHERS or any RSN discussions, so if it is non-reliable then I agree with your suggestion. However, I think your expanded reception section should be preserved by merging, so if EFilmCritic is unreliable, I support a Merge.  VickKiang  (talk)  02:58, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to author's page. Not enough found in a search to warrant keeping and redirect seems more appropriate than outright deletion Donald D23   talk to me  19:56, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment There is no author listed on this article page. Did you mean the director? Liz Read! Talk! 06:45, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * AFAIK it's usable as it's been used as a source in academic and scholarly texts like this, but I typically try to judge it more based on who is writing the review. I suppose it's good that you mentioned this since I admittedly hadn't looked terribly close at the person in question. A search shows that Erik Childress would be a RS since per his rt bio he's written for places that are RS, like RogerEbert.com and Film Threat, and is a columnist for Rotten Tomatoes. According to this he is/was the VP of the Chicago Film Critics Association. That means that we have two good reviews for this, which is technically enough per guidelines but I do typically prefer more. If there was a third review or more coverage of the production then it'd be more solid on my end. I'm somewhat leaning towards keep but I'm not really solid enough to make a firm argument either way.

 * Comment. IMO it would be best to merge/redirect to Damon Santostefano, the director.  VickKiang  (talk)  00:26, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
