Those Who Wander

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

Article about an unreleased film, not properly sourced as having any serious claim to passing our notability criteria for films. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it has an IMDb page -- the notability test isn't just that the film exists, but that the film has been the subject of media coverage to establish its significance. But this is a crowdfunded independent film that never saw any real commercial distribution at all -- it received one self-funded screening at a theatre not very far away from the filmmaker's own hometown, and that's it. And for sourcing, 13 of the 17 footnotes here are primary sources (Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, YouTube, user-generated discussion boards, etc.) that aren't support for notability at all -- and of the just four hits that are from real media, they're all just "local film student tries to make film" in the filmmaker's own local media, not adding up to any reason why this otherwise unreleased film would have any enduring nationalized or internationalized significance seven years later. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have more than just a tiny smattering of coverage in and around the filmmaker's own hometown.
