Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Return of the Ghostbusters (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was Delete &mdash; while the passion of its fans are noted, most do not provide any policy based reasoning for keeping this article. More importantly, they do not clearly address or refute the notability concerns of those arguing for deletion. Since this is not a vote, and the fact that other stuff exists is not germane to the notability of this article, the conclusion I must draw is delete. Naturally, there is not prejudice attached to a well-sourced article that clearly demonstrates notability in this deletion. --Haemo 01:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Non-notable fan movie. Article was deleted once, prior to its release. No reliable sources cited. Caknuck 01:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

How can you nominate this for deletion? Wikipedia has tons of entries of Star Wars fanfilms like Star Wars: Revelations that was a SHORT film, this is a FEATURE LENGTH FANFILM. It has had a Premiere at the Mayan Theater in Denver, CO aswell as a screening at Mile High Con and has bookings at Big Apple Con as well as a screening set up at a British Convention. Freddy vs Ghostbuster, the precursor to this film, '''was a hit all over the internet being heavily promoted by Bloody-Disgusting.com, listings on IMDB Here aswell as hostings on TheForce.net Here. Surely this film deserves this page.''' --BojacRedleif 02:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Did you read anything past the Revelations part? IT HAS SCREENINGS AT Mile High Con & Big Apple Con. They've booked a showing in London in May! Freaking Arrow-In-The-Head has a article about it Here. --BojacRedleif 02:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

To quote myself on the original AfDs "I don't believe a Freddy vs Ghostbusters page was ever made. Although it was definetly notable as it was all over the place, it went so far to be British media. (They called them Canadian Youngsters), Bloody-Disgusting.com even said something around "If you ever took the time to download something, this should be it". It won best film at the MicrocinemaFest in South Dakota. It's also on IMDB and if IMDB actually adds a page for it then it's definetly noteworthy."

The film is finally released for FREE on the internet, it did get made. (As it was questioned the previous time) It was featured in the most recent edition of the Denver Metropolitan Magazine. Sources are Cited by reliable 3rd party sites (Metropolitan & Arrow-In-The-Head) now, it surely doesn't fit the guidelines of a swift deletion now. --BojacRedleif 03:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless more press coverage can be found to show WP:N. One local interest story doesn't do it. JJL 03:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * DO NOT Delete Since when did Arrow-In-The-Head become a local interest story? --BojacRedleif 03:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm afraid that I attached even less significance to that website, though the Mistress-of-the-Week Page 3 girls were amusing. JJL 04:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * DO NOT Delete Midway down is a good article on this film.  Also:   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.162.201 (talk) 05:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be notable. Could use a link to the trailer on Youtube Colonel Warden 10:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep An 85-minute fan-film sounds pretty notable to me. Jdavidb (talk &bull; contribs) 12:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete As it stands at the moment, even though I love the film, the film is non-notable; but I'm sure that will change with time. It is a pity the creators act in such a non-professional manner and attribute 'not getting on wikipedia' to wikipedia warriors have NO life, and relish in the opportunity to flex they cyber muscle, crushing the dreams of would-be cewebrities like myself! (see http://www.braxtanfilm.com/smf/index.php?topic=3487.40) Stop taking things personally, act professional, and keep making great fan films. (And also please don't try to use fake publicity as indicated in the linked thread) 217.43.64.97 16:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Youtube is not a reliable source; there is NO coverage of this in reliable sources and thus no hope for notability yet. --Jayron32| talk | contribs  17:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Really? So we should keep articles only for the sake of being nice?  No regard to policies like verifiability and no original research? --Jayron32| talk | contribs  23:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Well no offense to Jigsaw, but he did just post a vote without providing any links to support keeping this page. I don't feel it was a "bite". Hanksta2 17:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * DO NOT DELETEDevil MasterThis is feature-length and had screenings in movie theaters, it is notable.
 * Keep This film is notable enough to have its own article. JesseMeza 20:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you have any sources which would support the arguement that it is notable? Anything in a newspaper, magazine, book, or edit-controlled website or equivalent?  --Jayron32| talk | contribs  23:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't want to get into a heated arguement on this, but I will ask what's the difference between this article and Star Wars: Revelations? JesseMeza 05:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. shoy  (words words) 13:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Why not do one for "Freddy VS the Ghostbusters" and combine them into one article? Tons of Star Wars and Star Trek ones why not keep the 2 notable and quite funny GB ones? They both had public screenings, mentions in newspapers and magazines, the first one won an award, this isn't 2 kids working out of a garage, they had lots of people worldwide working on this and. There are several articles for the first one in a newspaper, and edit-controlled websites, wait a bit and there will be some for this 2 probably. Dr. Stantz 04:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:N without reliable secondary sources. Doctorfluffy 08:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
