The Perfect Roommate

No evidence of notability. No reliable sources. (PROD was contested with no reason given by an IP with no other edits.) JamesBWatson (talk) 07:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete due to lack of significant coverage from reliable sources. Nothing showed up in Google News Search, and a general Google search for reviews or interviews did not yield anything at all. It's that direct-to-video. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 13:43, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only source I can find other than IMDB is this one and it's not exactly a reliable independent source. Notability is not established at all. §everal⇒|Times 15:25, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:USERFY... return to author  per current failure of WP:TOOSOON. The article's proffered IMDB link leads to someone named "Ross Durocher", who does NOT have a searchable connection to the film.. And while the film is searchable through a regular google search, we do not have the reliable sources required. The one found non-RS source offered above gives us director "Curtis Crawford", and a search for him on IMDB leads to a storyboard artist and film producer/director, who may or may not be the one connected with this film... but the film itself is not in their database. Also, the Movie Central link indicates that this one will screen on 10/11, 10/12, and 10/27, and there "might" be coverage in a few days... or not. But with no coverage for a made-and-yet-to-release film, we have a failure of WP:NFF.  While it is of a concern that an article-being-actively-edited was tagged for speedy only 8 minutes after its second edit by its inexperienced, 22-lifetime-edits, newcomer author, the speedy was removed and the issue of context was addressed. So kudos to those who tried to give this new article a chance. That said, I suggest we return it to its author, place it in his sandbox, and send him to WP:PRIMER, WP:TOOSOON and WP:NF so that he might better understand why his article is not ready. All he's seen from Wikipedia so far are those "oh-so-friendly" deletion templates (I see no evidence of even a "welcome" message). Who knows... maybe with some guidence  this one will become a terific contributor. Changed my mind. As editor knows enough to repeatedly blank his talk page... and did so even after I myself left a polite note AND he finally received a welcome message from User:Tbhotch.  To me (and I was quite willing to extend the benefit of the doubt) this means he simply does not wish to listen. Sigh.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I reverted an IP's removal of the AfD notice on the page. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * From studying the author's takpage history, I would think the "IP" was the author himself when not logged in. Sigh.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 11:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
