What happened to Baz
No evidence given of notability, despite long-term flag on article Dweller 15:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete supposed movie not on IMDB. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The movie is located on the IMDB. --Porqin 17:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right, it's there, under a slightly different title and with just 21 people rating it. No change of vote for now, but I appreciate the info. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This movie is 6 min long, and gathers around 340 google hits. No real assertion of notability here. --Porqin 17:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Length is not an issue, as it is a short film, and its place on IMDB is a testament to its significance (they have similar requirements for listing to Wikipedia). Think of all of the Pixar shorts that may only score a scant few Google hits, but are seen by anyone who watches a Pixar film. Thorne N. Melcher 18:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. IMDB does not have similar requirements to Wikipedia. Their only requirement is that something exists. (For projects in "development" or "pre-production" they don't even require that.) There is no distribution of shorts, outside of things like the Pixar shorts that accompany their features. Most shorts are only seen by only a tiny handful of people who attend small film festivals. The vast majority of people will never see this, never have the opportunity to see it, and never even hear of it. That's non-notable. Fan-1967 19:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "The vast majority" of people probably haven't heard of hundreds of Wikipedia topics from hundreds of fields. "The vast majority" of people probably don't see a lot of movies. And perhaps you should re-familiarize yourself with IMDB's listing policy. They will only list independent projects if they are lined up to be shown at a notable film festival or have been recognized in other significant fashion. The "development" and "pre-production" films are all titles formally announced by "big name" studios, producers, actors, or directors. Thorne N. Melcher 21:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What is their criteria for a "notable" film festival? Are St. Kilda and Currumbin notable? Fan-1967 22:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
