Outsiders (2012 short)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable short film, produced by a non-notable studio. No awards, no coverage whatsoever in proper reliable sources, let alone significant coverage. Plenty of promotional fluff in there as well. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 15:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lack of coverage, lack of notability, fails WP:GNG. Ducknish (talk) 16:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Other than a story in a local paper, this film hasn't received any real coverage. It doesn't pass notability guidelines. There might be merit in redirecting this to the production company's page, assuming it survives AfD. I have no true qualms about it being userfied, but it does need a lot of cleanup beforehand. I'll see what I can do. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:33, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I've edited it down to read a little more encyclopedically, as the previous entry read more like something on a fan wiki than a Wikipedia article. Hopefully this will make it look better to incoming editors.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks a lot better now, and if you of all people can't dig up more on it, then it can't be notable xD Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 09:25, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I've noticed before that creators of articles about films seem to be unable to step back from their preoccupation and realise that hardly any general readers will interpret meaningless noun-free phrases such as "2012 short" to be anything to do with film. If this is kept it needs to be renamed to a meaningful title, such as "Outsiders (2012 short film)". Phil Bridger (talk) 19:15, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be coverage. LenaLeonard (talk) 17:52, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * With respect, where? All that has been so far is either local or isn't a WP:RS. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 18:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
