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

Almost one year after the last AfD, there is still no independent source for the article, actually not even an assertion of notability. B. Wolterding (talk) 14:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is a feature film with several name actors. I am more than a bit astonished that the nom didn't bother to surf to the IMDB entry cited in the article's infobox and source from there.  An article isn't AfD-worthy if it has no sources; it's AfD-worthy if it seems to be unsourceable.  I suppose I'd be counted in the deletionist camp, but c'mon.    RGTraynor  15:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per RGTraynor. It has a number of notable actors (e.g. Chevy Chase, Clive Swift, and Rose McGowan); it doesn't appear to have been a blockbuster, but it was still a studio film. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 16:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I found nothing on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic or Allmovie, but I did find some sources on Google News and a profile on Yahoo! Movies in addition to the IMDb link. --Pixelface (talk) 18:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - evidence that it exists, but no evidence of notability. I don't think 'Chevy Chase starred in it' makes it intrinsically notable, and given how little coverage it seems to have received from anywhere, I would say it probably isn't. Terraxos (talk) 05:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete if the best sources we have are an IMDB entry with no external reviews, a couple passing mentions in press articles on distantly-related topics, and a Yahoo! Movies directory entry. Jfire (talk) 06:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I used the IMDb link in the article and found exactly zero reliable sources.  A Google search for "Chevy Chase" and "Vacuums" found a few directories confirming existence but not notability.  In fact, there seemed to be almost as many pages on where to buy or repair vacuum cleaners in Chevy Chase, Maryland.  The Google News search cited above revealed only trivial mentions.--FreeKresge (talk) 16:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per others; I checked into this myself at NewsBank with a mix of keywords including Chevy Chase, Rose McGowan, Vacuums, and Stealing Bess (not all at the same time, of course). I didn't find any significant coverage by published, third-party sources, so I would be hard-pressed to call this film notable, even with the two actors that seem pretty prominent. — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 12:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 01:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. One sentence does not a Wikipedia article make. B.Wind (talk) 02:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This article doesn't consist of one sentence. --Pixelface (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Infobox doesn't stand alone. Neither does the one sentence. Both lack content and context.B.Wind (talk) 04:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete – Despite this being a fairly recent feature film with notable actors and producers, it pulls up surprisingly few secondary sources and not enough to ever de-stub the article. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  05:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
