Mr Smith Goes to Tokyo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Can find no reliable sources on google for this film, and none are provided in the article. Nothing to meet notability guidelines. I did a google (+ gnews) search for the title in quotes + the surname of the director and came up with 2 hits, both unrelated. Also, a conflict of interest as the article appears to have been written by the film's director. Beloved Freak  11:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The film does exist, I promise. The reason I added a Wiki article is that I want to provide a web page on Wiki that lists significant modern architectural buildings in Tokyo. I have trimmed down the length of the article so that it does not seem to be a conflict with my own agenda and merely use it as a reference tool so that other people wanting to see a list of significant modern buildings in Tokyo can find it online. This data is also not available elsewhere and is independent research, but it is accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iainoverton (talk • contribs) 18:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - further edits to the article show that the actual title of the film is Mr Smith Takes a Short Trip to Tokyo. Searching under this title gives some reliable sources, but mentions seem fairly trivial as far as I can see. It's not listed on the imdb page for the director. -- Beloved Freak  18:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I added short item about the event from Blueprint Magazine: little more than an events listing, really. I also took the liberty of renaming to "Mr. Smith Takes a Short Trip to Tokyo," although, if this article really was created and named by the filmmaker, might have been a liberty I shouldn't have taken, since it's likely he knows best what his film is called. Shame if it gets deleted, as I love documentaries about architecture. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:30, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
