Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yeti: A Love Story


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Another Yeti A Love Story: Life on the Streets. Noting that yes, it's odd for a sequel to exist while the primary doesn't, however consensus is clear that the sourcing doesn't substantiate page here, and it's a viable ATD. I might suggest with my editorial hat on that some info be merged. Star  Mississippi  00:34, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeti: A Love Story

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

First and foremost, I am surprised that this "sophomore effort" has an article. Judging by the five sources, only the first source is RS. The second source is a passing mention and the fourth source is a questionable review. The third and fifth sources are about the sequel and may not be reliable either.

 * Delete per nom, (I would be fine with a redirect to the sequel per , which seems like will be kept at AfD) . Unfortunately, I plainly do not see how this passes WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. The 5th ref has exactly zero about us information, editorial policies, staff listings, or anything that resembles reliable sources. Moria is another SPS, whereas the 2nd source is a trivial mention and the 3rd source is from its own non-independent Kickstarter page. The other reviews I can find are two more obvious SPS (including one even from Blogger), 1, 2, along with more unreliable ones listed at IMDB. This only leaves one article from Popmatters that is usable, which is inadequate for GNG/NFILM.  VickKiang  (talk)  03:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Of the book refs noted below, this has three mentions, one in the bibliography and two during listings, which are clearly not SIGCOV. This is again a single mention. Finally, this is again a trivial mention. Similarly, this website has only a contact page but no other indications of reliability. Therefore, I stand by my delete vote.

 * Delete The explanation above is fine, there are no other reviews I can find. The movie is not covered in any mainstream sites, we have to go for these secondary sites. I'm not showing enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 03:02, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep There is the review mentioned above. Also I find the DailyGrindhouse acceptable. There are various brief mentions in books, including thisthis,this And there is another review. So that with at the very least 2 reviews, the film may be considered notable. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  08:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Scared Stiff doesn't appear to have an editorial policy, so it's iffy. The rest are trivial coverage. Oaktree b (talk) 14:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Adding: also, among other things, Daniel W. Kelly (author of this book and specialist of gay horror) has reviewed the film and its sequel. Also, again among other things, Den of Geek has a one-paragraph assessment of the film, let me quote it :’nothing could be greater than the romantic adventure Yeti: A Gay Love Story. A heady mix of redneck tentacle people, a bigfoot-worshipping cult and, erm, massive-schlonged gay Yeti sex, Adam Deyoe and Eric Gossellin’s 2006 film is equal parts hilarious, ludicrous and inspired. Worth watching for so many reasons (none of them a reason to be proud), 2015 sees the release of a belated sequel, so we can look forward to even more hot Yeti action to come". Clearly notable cult film and the article can be improved and expanded with at least those sources. No further comment.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  22:52, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. Den of Geek is reliable and independent, but it only gives three sentences to the film, which is to me clearly not SIGCOV IMO. For Daniel W.Kelly's Wordpress blog, even if I concede that it is an expert SPS (the website appears highly informal and the reference here is not classified as a full "review", but the author has written in a medium-size and potentially reliable publisher numerous times per Google Books), the blog article only covers this film in nine sentences in his Wordpress blog, which to me fails SIGCOV, but everyone of course can have reasonably different interpretations; and I am still at a delete.

 * Is it weird if we delete the first film from a pair's article, but keep the second? That seems to be where this is headed Yeti 1 is delete, Yeti 2 is keep. Oaktree b (talk) 03:27, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and New Hampshire.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:40, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Another Yeti A Love Story: Life on the Streets (having only an article on the sequel seems almost too perfect for a horror spoof btw), I would not consider publishing in a relatively small and non-notable publisher enough to make whatever one writes reliable enough to contribute to notability forever. Kelly's WordPress article is clearly written as a casual bit of fun, and is not a serious effort like the book is. Since all other sources are mere passing mentions, only the PopMatters source contributes towards notability, which is not enough for a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:21, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Good assessment, imo the sequel is not notable and not this one. DareshMohan (talk) 16:09, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * IMO as someone involved, with 4 delete/redirect votes and just 1 keep, consensus seems fairly clear to redirect. Redirect is supported by two explicitly and the nom said the redirect comment was a good assessment.  VickKiang  (talk)  07:14, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * VickKiang, it looks murkier to me than your summary reflects. What redirect are you suggesting? Liz Read! Talk! 05:31, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I said to redirect to Another Yeti A Love Story: Life on the Streets because I noted I would be fine with a redirect to the sequel per Devonian Wombat (emphasise mine) and they suggested this target. But I am obviously involved and am okay for this to wait for another admin to assess the consensus here though. Thanks for your work on AfDs.  VickKiang  (talk)  07:10, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
