A little independent film that got entered in a little local film festival (admittedly, in New York, which gives it some visibility no matter the size), and received some brief mentions in passing in articles about that festival (but not explicitly about the film itself). Fails WP:NF. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: ... as the thing is (albeit slowly), screening at festivals and is receiving minimal notice, we might reasonably consider returning this new article to its author User:Daniellejenna so that it can be worked on and improved as a user draft out of article space. When it's better, allow it back.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Transatlantic Coffee has been at over 7 festivals, winning best picture and best actor. It has been mentioned in variety, LA Weekly, Hollywood.com, LA Examiner and screened at the world famous Chinese Theaters in Hollywood. It signed a distribution deal and will be released this fall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erikpcarlson (talk • contribs) 03:17, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment The number of festivals is not necessarily significant, as the selection criteria for many minor film festivals is weak or non-existent. The criteria listed at WP:Notability (films) are pretty clear-cut (ErikPCarlson is advised to read this guideline, as well as the conflict of interest guideline), and this film fails all of them.  The criteria do not list "appeared a n festivals".  They do list "received a major award", but the Best Actor award at the Hell's Kitchen Film Festival cannot be considered "major" by any stretch of the imagination.  The film may become notable after it has been released to general distribution in the fall (or it may not), but why don't we let the future take care of itself?

 * Incubate until after general distribution. There doesn't seem to be a lot of reliable source yet, but hopefully they'll come once it has been released to general distribution. Perhaps it's just too soon for now. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Incubate or Userfy, as both options encourage work away from article space.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:03, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
