Prey Love Eat

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

PROD-contested. Fails the notability guideline for films. A cursory search for sourcing turned up absolutely nothing that wasn't directly related to the movie itself. (Admittedly, it was difficult to adequately search due to the title's similarity to Eat, Pray, Love - which still dominated search results even after using boolean phrases to force an exact match.)

On the talk page, an editor commented that the film is being submitted to film festivals - perhaps this may make it notable at some later point, but it's not Wikipedia's job to speculate on that or wait until it's notable. In addition, IMDB is generally not considered a valid source for asserting notability, though it can sometimes be used to verify information in the article.  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete--I had the same problem finding anything. However, I have faith in MQS and will gladly change my mind if he works his magic again. Note: I blocked the creator for username and promotion, sadly. Drmies (talk) 22:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or maybe incubate per failing WP:NF. No magic here... yet. I would almost have also included a failure of WP:NFF, but this film is slated to debut on July 8. I made the article prettier in thinking in might be returned to its author as a work-in-progress to await the appearance af properly reliable sources after its debut, but its author User talk:FuzzontheLens has been soft-blocked for username violation, and the editor contesting its speedy, User:MLeavy, I suspect of being the film's writer/director Michael Leavy... and that continues concerns toward COI. The kindest thing would be to incubate it, but barring that, the deletion can always be reversed if or when decent sources come forward.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * We can always incubate it with the other five thousand articles in your user space. ;) Drmies (talk) 00:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Or email it back to its author and he can play with it off project.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I find nothing in the way of news or coverage of this short, and probably won't unless it plays at a festival or something.  pro.imdb.com shows it as "In production", so I'm not even sure it's been "released".  If the author wants, I suggest s/he should copy it back to his/her sandbox and hold onto it until it's notable.   Vertium   (talk to me)  00:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Hairhorn (talk) 01:30, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - showing it once in a local club doesn't qualify as a release in any serious form. Trying to get it shown elsewhere does not qualify for notability. No other sign of notability claimed. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I am hoping the author(s) understand the simply existing is not enough, and the film (no matter where it screens) needs to be the recipient of commentary and analysis in independent secondary sources.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability; maybe a case of WP:TOOSOON but I doubt it. I deleted some of the promotional stuff about the locations from the article. I found it hard to believe the article does not even mention the much better known movie Eat Pray Love, which its title is an obvious takeoff on, but whatever. --MelanieN (talk) 01:34, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
