Nickel Children

Previous editors had CSD'd this on as a blatant advert; either that was cleaned up or the problem never existed. I personally believe the article is probably notable enough to be kept, assuming that the poster (in the image) is accurately representing its awards. However, I believe we should get consensus on the issues of advertising and notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No hits on Gnews at all except a blank New York Times directory listing which mirrors IMDb. Here's a breakdown of the awards:
 * Halloween in July — not a notable festival. (Note that one film listed here, Make-out with Violence, does appear notable, as it was shown at notable festivals and has extensive reviews in reliable sources. That transfers absolutely zero notability this way, however.)
 * Yellow Fever Independent Film Festival — So non-notable they don't even have their own domain name. (Although they might wanna reconsider their name so it's not one letter away from "yiff.")
 * Dragon*CON — has a (somewhat spammy) article at Dragon Con), but not enough to confer notability upon the film.
 * Chicago Horror — can't be bothered with more than a directory listing. Also not a notable festival.
 * ValleyCon36 — must not be notable if the first hit is a Facebook page.
 * Renovation 69th — Also not a notable festival.
 * I couldn't find any third party reviews online at all. Extensive searches turned up only places to view it online or unreliable blogs. Films aren't speediable under any circumstances, so we can't speedy this one; it's not spammy enough for G11. However, it fails every possible notability guideline, and the awards bestowed upon it are meaningless towards WP:NFF. (Also, "award winning" is the most overused term ever.)

 * Comment: While Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention, is certainly a notable event and they are hosting a film festival, based on news coverage and the convention's press release, the selections for that film festival won't be made until 2011. - Dravecky (talk) 05:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I'd just like to point out the WP:COI since the creator of the article is User:NickelChildren. --23 Benson (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice per WP:TOOSOON. The film has only begun hitting festivals, and I have no problem accepting that it won for 'Best Film' at the Halloweeen in July Film Festival... but the festival is not on the radar as itself notable.  And the article makes a point of sharing "future" festivals where it is slated to screen. Its just too soon.  Let it screen more, win more awards, and receive some coverage in reliable sources... not blogs.  I would not be adverse to it being Userfied back to its author for continued work.

 * Delete - no notability as far as I can see at this time as per MichaelQSchmidt, no issue to re-create if that changes Codf1977 (talk) 21:47, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
