Posers (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a film, not properly sourced as having any meaningful claim to passing WP:NFILM. The only notability claim readily apparent here is that the film exists, but there are absolutely no sources here to establish that the film meets any notability criteria listed in WP:NFO -- and while I've been able to find a couple of isolated hits of "film in production" coverage dated from before it was released, there isn't enough of that to claim that it would pass WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NFO, and I haven't been able to find any of the published film critic reviews that are much more essential to establishing permanent notability. A film's mere existence is not automatically "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to show any GNG-worthy sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 18:15, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm finding some evidence that there could be more sourcing out there, but not on the internet. The AV Club has a listing for this under "reviews", but I can't find the review in question. The implication is that there was likely a review, but it just wasn't archived for whatever reason. I was able to find this DVD Talk review, though. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  20:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I get the general gist that there's maybe more stuff out there, but it's not super solid. On a side note, the director herself does appear to be independently notable, particularly as she's turned her sights towards the literary world. If I had more energy I'd create a page and may do that later, but I don't have it at the moment. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  20:47, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG with the Globe and Mail article, and the Ottawa Citizen article from during filming. Poking around I see it summarized in various cinema books and reviewed in a university publication - but I'm not sure that contributes any further to GNG. Nfitz (talk) 21:07, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Besides the the above, there is also a review in Video Store Magazine. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 13:29, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
