Sign gene

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about a Nonnotable film in production that also appears to serve as an advertisement since the film is being made by Pluin Productions and the sole contributor of merit to the article has been User:Pluin. A Google search for the term "Sign Gene" film has 169 hits, of which only one (the article in question) actually mentions the film (which alone is not enough for notability). No hits on Google News. Perhaps the time will come when this film becomes notable, but since it hasn't been released yet (its existance cant even be verified yet), the article only contains speculative crystal ball predictions.

 * Question: Has there ever been a full-length film in American or International sign language? What an amazing concept.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's a great idea for a film, but that's unrelated to the AFD. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 22:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with you all. It lacks of notability at the moment. I am in the process of deleting the page. Thank you for your contributions  and for making sure Wikipedia is a reliable website. User:Pluin.  —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC).
 * It says that I cannot proceed the deletion of the page: "The action you have requested is limited to Administrators". So, I am letting you take care of this. User:Pluin —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC).
 * I will tag it as csd-g7. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:51, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * With respects, I have just requested a hangon. As you noted, it is a good idea for a film.... and I feel I can find notability to satisfy the delete votes. And with respects to the author... this is not his userpage... the article is now Wiki's. If I fail in showing notability, I will accept myself vote delete... but for now, let's see what I can find. -  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This isn't the first film to be done in sign language, nor does that establish notability in itself since it hasn't been written about in any third party sources. Please see this for a further list. Themfromspace (talk) 04:48, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice, and allow return when film is released and notability for English Wikipedia can be shown. With respects to all here, I asked for a bit of time and got it. Thank you. I have cleaned up the article per MOS, but was unable to find English language sources toward notability. These may exist in Italian and Japanese, as I came across plenty in those languages... and an Japaneses reading or Italain reading editor may better descern what I could not... but I cannot read them and so cannot make a judgement. And thank you to Themfromspace for the link to other sign films. What a boon it must be for the deaf to have films they can enjoy.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
