The Atlanta Way (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable film, does not meet WP:NF BOVINEBOY 2008 16:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: This is a film of significance about a topic of importance for Atlanta, notably for its Black community, and which was noted in Creative Loafing, and on the widely read site for young Black professional women Clutch, and by the American Sociological Association.

 * I understand that the topic of the film is significant, but the actual documentary is not considering the guidelines at WP:NF. BOVINEBOY 2008 20:36, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * can you be more specific (e.g. "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.") --> by this it seems significant for me, Creative Loafing, American Sociology, Clutch, etc. are almost important media/organizations Keizers (talk) 21:33, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Userfy. Right now the coverage is just too light. I'm also concerned that the ASA source was written by a Georgia State University professor, which is the same college that one of the film's directors attended. That kind of pushes it into uncomfortable WP:PRIMARY territory, because it would be in the professor's best interest to positively discuss something done by someone who had gone to her college. While it's not exactly like the professor is saying that Williams attended her classes (although we can't automatically say he didn't since she didn't say it), I'd really prefer to have more coverage in reliable sources and more by people who didn't have a connection to the directors in some way. I do think that this will very likely gain coverage once it officially releases, but right now it's just way, way too soon. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:20, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Long title:


 * Delete or Userfy without prejudice as the film topic does not meet the caveats set for unreleased films found at WP:NFF (paragraph 3), and we have no place to redirect or merge. It is getting some coverage, but not enough quite yet. Let be released and receive commentary and review in reliable sources and we can welcome it back with open arms.  For now it is simply TOO SOON.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 22:03, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gentrification of Atlanta. I'm dubious on the notability of the film, but it's a real phenomenon that needs to be addressed.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC).
