The Forest Ranger

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to fail WP:NFILM. No reviews found in a BEFORE. All newspaper articles that I have found are just about screenings. Donald D23  talk to me  02:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete I did a search at the Library of Congress newspaper archive using the title, from 1912 to 1914, zero results. A one reel film was a very short film, a few minutes. So it doesn't appear to have gathered any attention when it was released, or since then either. Oaktree b (talk) 03:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ok it's about 10 minutes a reel for silent film. still not much. Oaktree b (talk) 03:27, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Romaine Fielding. There's one sentence about it in, with citations to Prescott Journal-Miner 6 August 1912 p4 and Lubin Bulletin 26 October 1912. Amazingly, the former article is available in Google Newspapers. It's a rather obscure reference; without knowing about the citation from the first paper you'd be hard-pressed to even identify that it was talking about The Forest Ranger. I couldn't find the Lubin Bulletin reference online; it wouldn't be an independent source anyway since it was a publication of the production company. All in all, I think it's pretty clear this short did not achieve significant or lasting attention. Jfire (talk) 03:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
