Maneater of Hydra

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unremarkable horror film. Fails WP:GNG and uses poor sources. Contested prod. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep With respects to the nominator, I looked beyond current state and did some research. My conclusion is that the topic does meet WP:GNG and WP:NF. While yes, the article will benefit from being tagged for cleanup, notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation in the article itself... and we do have sufficient coverage for this 44-year-old horror flick, even under the article's unsuitable TV title for this film. There are more, but I find full length review and commentary in such as DVD Talk  and Monsters & Critics  to be strongly indicative of a meeting of WP:NF. More, and preceding its TV release, we have additional coverage under its original 1967 theatrical Spain release title of La isla de la muerte and its 1967 US English release title of Island of the Doomed.. With respects, improving the article seems a reasonably addressable issue, and as such does not require deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:34, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sourcing identified by MichaelQSchmidt which establishes notability. Davewild (talk) 07:53, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
