 * Keep. I'm seeing valuable information and the organization being used as a resource by lots of others, most notably The Washington Post. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 09:55, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Barely passes WP:GNG, imho, with the references I'm seeing on Google News, but definitely passes WP:BASIC.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ,, All of the GNews sources ( 24 results for "star wars action news" right now) look like insignificant coverage or otherwise can't be used to establish notability to me, starting with the WP: part of the host's review of the BB-8 toy, similar parts for The Verge, Engadget, and Wired, his involvement was only for an opinion on the toy.  their facebook announcement that an AMC manager confirmed a Star Wars movie marathon(movie hype), I'd say it's more about Star Wars and AMC than SWAN, looks like they were at the right place at the right time, doesn't say why the manager told SWAN so it's implied that that doesn't matter, what the announcement says is what they care about, and be aware of the many similar posts of this information .  a few sentences on how Star Wars Action news is a precursor to their Now Playing Podcast.  it's about the husband and wife, 1st page mentions their podcast on collecting, SWAN, and also their Now Playing podcast(same sentence), 2nd page has nothing, 3rd page has a sentence on it. Two (could argue 1.5) sentences in three pages is insignificant.  movie hype(read the title), about the trailer, Abrams teasing, and that they found posters on SWAN FB, and then describe the posters, seems like an obligatory mention.  list of some of Comic Con's attendees, point of the story would be the same if they chose to list another group instead.  the rest seem to be sources like "Bleeding Cool News" aside from being unreliable, this one is also more about the Now Playing podcast if you read the title and SWAN is mentioned as a precursor again.

 * Comment: Featured in the documentary film, The Force Among Us, per cite I've added to the article via HighBeam Research. Hope this is helpful, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: Some good sources at different search parameters -- . &mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:22, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't have access to HighBeam, so I can't view the source you added. I couldn't find the whole documentary online but I found the "Celebration trailer" for it, he and is wife are on from 2:53 - 4:10 on the second video, about 15 minutes total . But many other people have parts in it too, and it's not like this documentary got major recognition.
 * Getting different search results under that term, but I'm not finding any significant, reliable coverage about Star Wars Action News. Could you link some of the sources you found here? Rainbow unicorn (talk) 01:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
