 * Delete sounds interesting, but no reliable sources to back it up, nor any assertion of WP:N. Happyme22 (talk) 17:19, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Seems to be some reliable sources. There are 2 external links in the article itself, that give some coverage to the film. There was a Washington Post article about machinima that talks at length about the film:, and articles about the film from mtv.com , and about machinima in general that gives a significant mention to the film: . Silverfish (talk)
 * Keep, several reliable sources did cover this as one of the first machinima films to tackle politics, if for no other reason. --Dhartung | Talk 20:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Are there articles in major newspapers specifically about them and their creators? Unfortunately, both of those have names which are impossible to effectively Google for. --Stormie (talk) 04:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
