Temptations (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly referenced, non-notable film article. Written in a non-encyclopedic tone with excessive detail. - MrX 02:27, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:FILM standard of wide distribution, board cricital review, major award, etc. (A Yahoo search shows that this was copy/pasted from one of several adult movie sites. But why give the copyright people more work when we already know where this is heading.) Blue   Riband►  03:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have a feeling that this might end up being a snow delete. A search brought up zero sources that would give this film enough notability to merit an article. It exists and is associated with people who have articles, but that's pretty much the extent of the coverage that this film has received and that's not enough for it to pass WP:NFILM.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. No significant coverage found in reliable sources; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NF.  Gongshow  Talk 08:40, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Rotten Tomatoes has nothing. IMDb lists 3 user reviews and a link to epinions (a site that publishes reviews by members of the public). If this was any kind of a cult favorite you'd find results on Google and Google Books: Google Books has only 2 results which are to non-online texts but appear to be listings/directories, one of which is from Katholisches Institut für Medieninformationen (an organisation unlikely to provide a balanced critical assessment). The director has made 1 other film, so he's unlikely to be notable either. And what's up with the first 2 sentences of the plot summary? --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete This fails WP:NFILMS so badly it scares me. There's nothing out there on this one, notability-wise. § FreeRangeFrog 01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I had hoped that by working with search parameters (above) other than that provided by an AFD template, something more might be found, even if in non-English sources.... and THEN issues with article format and sourcing might be addressed. But nope. It exists. It was distributed. It was screened. One can still find it. But no reliable sources seem to have paid it much note at all. Fails WP:NF.

 * Delete If the film had at least one other hit than IMDb I might consider a weak keep, but delete yes. Etobgirl (talk) 23:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
