Soulja Boy: The Movie

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I was starting to propose a merger of this article into Soulja Boy, but the more I thought about it, the less I thought there was any content worth merging. The film seems WP:NN, though its subject is admittedly not. The article's creator disappeared into the night shortly after creating it, but his or her activity seems to center around creating articles for films from the same distributor, so I have WP:PROMO concerns. Speaking of promotional material, a Google search yields a lot of promotional pages, but no reviews, at least not in the first two pages of results. Wikipedia is not IMDB, and God knows we're not a Soulja Boy fansite. --BDD (talk) 19:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Interesting thoughts from the nominator. Yes, we're not IMDB nor a fansite... but we judge notability based upon coverage... and the google news results do appear to give us enough non-trivial coverege, even if not lengthy, with which to souce and build an encyclopdic neutral artcle on this documentary film topic. No reviews??? I imediately found one by DVD Verdict. What others did the nom not find? The information about the existance of this film could certainly be included in the Soulja Boy article. But I think we need not dismiss the possibility of a separate article on the film existing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Update: The article is looking somwehat better now, but I do note an irony in that whatever press the film might have received was overshadowed by the artist himself being arrested the same day as the video was released. His bad fortune.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per improvements during AfD. Minor notability but still... Cavarrone (talk) 10:05, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
