Max, 13

I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Fails WP:NF. Schuy m 1 ( talk ) 23:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: If WP:RESCUE can't save this in time, please userfy it to User:MacGyverMagic/WIP/Max, 13 upon closure. I'd like to have a stab at this one. - Mgm|(talk) 11:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - even the IMDB entry is empty. Apparently the movie is listed on eBay. Seems like the entry here is pure (self-)promotion. Jlg4104 (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt if it's any kind of "promotion" for a film Abe Levy made 10 years ago...  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:52, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The film exists. IMDB is not empty. and there just might be enough coverage to meet WP:NF.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What reliable sources do you think shows notability in that search? Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well.... A lot it depends on how the article might be re-written to have a notability properly asserted and sourced. Specially since the film is 10 years old. It'd take some work... but I believe all the pieces might be put together... thatt's why I said "weak". Metroactive.com: "Best Local Indie Feature Film: 'Twas with talent, moxie, and under a 100 grand (a spit in the ocean--or eye--by Hollywood standards) that Tomales-bred filmmaker Abe Levy produced, wrote, and directed his feature film debut, Max, 13--", metroactive.com, (about Levy) "North Bay filmmakers forge a new cinematic scene: Abe Levy and Silver Tree ...Lifelong Sonoma County resident Abe Levy has proven himself a filmmaker to the degree that he actually has a second home in Hollywood....", Daedalus Howell: "09.15.99, FINAL CUT: Tomales-borne director Abe Levy unthaws the freeze-frame on his coming-of-age opus "Max, 13," this weekend at the Phoenix Theater", Sonoma Wine Country: "Ever since 1973, Petaluma has served as a location for many major films, including: ...Max, 13 (1997) 4 day shoot in Petaluma and 10 day shoot in Tomales...", Petaluma.org: "Some of the movies in which you can find scenes of Petaluma are: ...Max, 13 (1997)...", Cinema Picuria: (about Levy) "Abe Levy has directed a handful of feature films", Faltbush Pictures: (about the editor) "Jeni Matson edited Abe Levy's acclaimed debut feature, MAX, 13".  The stuff is there... just a pain to dig out. And the article would need a cleanup and copyedit to incorporate the film and filmmaker and add the sources. Maybe more work than it is worth.

 * And with respects, if this one can be WP:RESCUED, then we ought to try. It can always come back to AfD if we fail.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and rewrite: The movie is not invisible, sources are available and users have ask for time to work on the article, WP:DEADLINE.--J.Mundo (talk) 02:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
