 * Keep and tag for continued improvements per WP:NRVE and let editors get to it in due time. I immediately found a  Variety review.  It seems brand new editor DouglasTheMovieGuy actually was trying to contribute and expand the article, but was blocked for apparently not understanding why his work was reverted and for his reverting in response rather than involve in dialogue.  Yes, his plot was overlong... and yes, he did not respond to the repeated warnings on his talk page. I would be willing to unblock him myself if he were to ask and promise to read WP:PRIMER, WP:NF, WP:RS, MOS and MOS:FILM before returning to editing.

 * But he ended with vandalising my userpage]... That was clearly too much! The Banner talk 22:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC) at that time I was not at home, so I have never seen the edit that got him blocked until some time later.
 * Newbie. If he apologizes and promises to be patient and constructive... we just might have a decent editor.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 09:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Poor article, but not beyond rescue. The Banner talk 22:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable film. DanLancaster (talk) 00:55, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per the Variety review and the following print sources. Doubt it will be more than a Start-class article, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erik (talk • contribs) 00:15, December 29, 2012‎
 * 1) "Tonight's drama almost rises above its lurid premise. A divorced caterer, her 16-year-old daughter and mom's 'fantastic' lover slip into a sticky domestic triangle and endure the explosive consequences. Beverly D'Angelo brings emotional complexity to passionate pastry chef Jesse Larson, torn by desire, guilt and resentment. 'I'm going through my second childhood,' she says. A strict, overbearing mom in her 40s, Jesse tries to control restless, lonely, asthmatic Jade. Jenny Lewis from 'Brooklyn Bridge' and 'Shannon's Deal' embodies sexual confusion as Jade, an insecure teen with a glum outlook. 'Silk Stalkings' dropout Rob Estes is suitably arrogant as lusty restaurateur Billy Stone, a divorced dad who wants to be Jade's stepfather. He's younger than Jesse, and she calls Billy her 'warden.' He demands 'constant' attention. He gets more than he can handle."
 * 2) "CBS has a potboiler at 9 p.m. Wednesday on KSTW-TV - 'Sweet Temptation,' basically a reworking of the Joan Crawford classic, 'Mildred Pierce.' Beverly D'Angelo (whom I admire greatly and who deserves much better than this) has the Crawford role with Jenny Lewis as her sulky teen daughter (originally Ann Blyth) and Rob Estes (of 'Silk Stalkings') as the cad (originally Zachary Scott) who romances both women. This new version hasn't the class of the original."
 * 3) "Sweet Temptation (3/6, 9 to 11 PM; CBS) is no less than Rob Estes deserves for having quit on Silk Stalkings. So he feels neglected by older girlfriend Beverly D'Angelo, too busy with her catering business. So does Beverly's teenage daughter, Jenny Lewis, feel neglected, as well as horny, even though she has a collie to play with. She plays instead with Rob. Everybody will live unhappily ever after."
