Red Rover (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Completely unsourced article about a film with no discernible claim to passing WP:NFILM. As always, a film needs to have some reliably sourced evidence of significance, such as notable film awards and/or reviews from established and reputable film critics, to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and just having an entry on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes is not automatically enough in and of itself -- but existence is the only notability claim on display here, IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are the only "sources", and I can't find any other sourcing on either Google or ProQuest to salvage it with. (Note that this is not the Shane Belcourt film from 2018, it's a thing from 2003 directed by Marc S. Grenier, so don't get led astray by the sources that do exist for the Belcourt film.)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Found a review at CineMagazine []. Not enough on its own, but its a start. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:21, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per review indicated by Donaldd23 and the three external links indicated in the article. Film stars three well-known actors who have extensive Wikipedia coverage. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:58, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * A reminder that notability is not inherited. We need more than well known actors starring. Paragon Deku (talk) 05:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Doesn’t appear to be a particularly notable film in its own right and sourcing seems too scant to prove notability. Paragon Deku (talk) 05:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
