Orang-U: An Ape Goes To College

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable film. Fails WP:NOTFILM. red dogsix (talk) 22:44, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article claims that the film was the first feature film to be released under a free culture license, but List of open-source films indicates that this film was preceded by other feature films with similar (even if not identical) licenses. No sources are provided to establish that Orang-U was the first film to be so licensed. Regardless of the license situation, the film seems to have to have received no significant attention after release; IMDb indicates that it has no user reviews, nor are any critics' reviews listed there, and the film has not even received ratings from 5 users yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:14, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per above; appears to include WP:ORIGINAL (unsourced claims regarding "first" film released under free license) and fail WP:NOTFILM. Uploading the film to Wikimedia Commons and promoting it (unsourced) on the page as "possible to watch the entire movie on Wikipedia" seems to violate WP:PROMO as well. There are not independent third party sources talking about how this film is available on Wikimedia Commons, and until there is, it's not notable or independently sourced enough to justify having a page. If it was, any film could literally get its own Wikipedia article just by uploading to Wikimedia Commons. Shelbystripes (talk) 16:14, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
