The Smiling Man

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Short, low-budget, Internet-distributed film that doesn't seem to come near satisfying Notability (films). The main claims for notability are its selection for a local film festival and a mention of the film in a review of something else. --Dynaflow  babble  00:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I have added four more external references to The Smiling Man, including an hour long interview with the film makers on the Bay Area Filmmakers Podcast, and two mentions on a national blog, VH1 Game Break. I am the primary author of the article and would really like to see it stick. Astrobeej (talk) 02:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep... but perhaps it might better serve to have an article about filmmaker B.J. West and include all his films.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: no significant independent 3rd party notability. JamesBurns (talk) 01:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
