Purification (film)
AfDs for this article:


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

A movie that does not appear to actually pass the WP:GNG. It was nominated for deletion back in 2015, but kept due to the argument that the sources found during that AFD (which are now in the article itself) were enough to establish notability. However, actually looking at the sources shows that this is not the case. The Bloody Disgusting and "Dread Central" sources are simply postings of the film's trailer, with no actual coverage or discussion of the film. There are two reviews also listed here, and while I am not sure whether or not Ain't It Cool News is considered a reliable source for movie reviews currently, the Technorati source is most certainly not, as Technorati is an advertising platform, and that "review" is very obviously a poorly written promotional piece. Rotten Tomatoes lists zero professional review for the film, and my own searches did not turn up any significant coverage or reviews in reliable sources. In short, I don't believe this film actually does pass the WP:GNG or WP:NFILM, and it should be brought back to AFD for a re-evaluation. Rorshacma (talk) 23:12, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: Per nom. My findings are basically the same. The production section is only primary sources, which means no third party outlets wrote about this film. The critical reception is poor and almost nonexistent other than possibly a pay-to-review sites. The page claims to have had a limited release, but that's disputable. Also, not a single cast/crew/company involved in this film has a Wikipedia page (that should say something). Fails WP:NFILM.  Mike   Allen   20:40, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
