The Plot Against the President

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

This has been on my watchlist for a while and every time I see it pop up, I'm confused about why I haven't nominated it for AfD yet. In the article we have two non-independent sources (The Hollywood Reporter, Fox News) – mostly interviews with the director – along with another THR article that quotes Milius and doesn't cover the movie in much detail.

A WP:BEFORE shows me a National Review review, which is a good in-depth review, but not WP:NFO#1 by itself (and notice NFO does not guarantee notability). It's strange I can't find more given THR's claim that it's "one of the most successful documentaries of 2020", but I can't find more with Google News, Google, ProQuest, Rotten Tomatoes or any other likely avenues. It's got a notability tag and some talk page comments suggesting non-notability. In any case, with the sources that I've found, we are particularly unable to cover the topic properly because of the lack of interest from neutral or left-wing sources – concerning as there is then no rigorous interrogation of the film's apparent far-right fringe perspective. — Bilorv ( talk ) 20:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
