Legendary Giant Beast Wolfman vs. Godzilla

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a WP:CRUFT page about a non-notable fan film created by a non-notable film maker that fails WP:NFILM in several ways: it was not widely distributed; it is not historically notable; it is not recognized as notable by film historians/critics; it was never released commercially; it is not part of any documentary or retrospective; it has received no awards; it is not 'taught' as an academic subject; it is not a unique accomplishment; it does not involve the participation of notable people; it was never distributed in its home country (Japan), or indeed any other country. Also per WP:NFILM: films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines. The subject also fails WP:N in general, having received no significant coverage in any reliable sources. Of the four citations in the article, the first and second are to an unreliable fan site (SciFi Japan), the fourth is to YouTube, and the third is to Dread Central, a site of questionable reliability. This is a 40-year-old, 26 minute duration, amateurish fan-film, and fan films are rarely notable for Wikipedia purposes. The "film" itself, it should be noted, is either incomplete or incoherent, having no discernible plot, story line, or narrative structure. Forty years after its "debut," there is no evidence whatsoever that it will ever be completed/improved. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 10:51, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - As stated by the nom, this unreleased, unofficial fan film does not appear to pass WP:NFILM. The coverage of it is scant, at best, with the Dread Central source being the closest it comes to actual coverage. Searches did not turn up anything additional in reliable sources. The film does not even appear to be notable enough to be merged over to the main Godzilla (franchise) page for a mention there. If anyone is able to pull up any significant coverage in reliable sources, particularly Japanese sources that I might have missed, please ping me so I can take a look. But, I did note that, as far as I can tell, the Japanese Wikipedia does not have an article on this fanfilm to draw any sources from, so the prospects probably aren't great.
