 * Keep Noted in several sources as the first film of director Tim Burton, it was shot when he was only 13. The assertion of notability in it being one of Burton's first was quite easy to verify in reliable sources. Though itself but a "student film", its historical signifcance is in the life of a youngster who would later become an award-winning director. At the very least, it might be considered for merging with the director's article, but deleted? Such does not improve the project when there are many alternatives.

 * Keep Notable because of the two books it was listed in, and the fact it was the first film by a very notable person in the film industry.  D r e a m Focus  09:08, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not sure what exactly the nominator means by his rationale of "non-notable movie". Per the references provided by MichaelQSchmidt, the film passes WP:GNG so the subject of the article, in this case the film, is notable. If the nominator is suggesting that the film fails WP:NOTFILM, that is a moot point because GNG trumps NOTFILM every day of the week. Properly sourced and notable, this article is a benefit to the project. And, surprise surprise, great job by MichealQ again. How predictable :) Big Bird (talk • contribs) 21:53, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
