- Keep Film has been completed and is pending release, and has received notice from significant secondary sources. WP:COI certainly pertains, but the article is still salvageable. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:29, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Sufficient secondary sources to support the article. —C.Fred (talk) 14:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, not a great article at the moment (and IMdb is not a reliable source for what it's worth) but there seems to have enough coverage by reliable sources to establish notability per the general notability criteria. There is coverage in USA Today and from Fox Business as well as the more local coverage. Guest9999 (talk) 16:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete?There's another problem along with all the others - all of the lead text appears to be copyright violation / plagiarism of film promotional material. Google "impressively competitive and undeniably quirky competitors" and see what happens. Even the sentence under "Production Notes" that is cited to a reliable source appears to be based on text on the film's own website. I'm inclined to think the current article should be deleted and if a non-COI editor wants to resurrect the subject, they can go ahead. Deletion isn't salting. hamiltonstone (talk) 04:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Copyright violations can be addressed without needing to delete the entire article. A simple rewrite in less promotional terms is all that is required. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. There were only two secondary sources, as the Fox Business one is a PR newswire copy, but I also found a primary sources to show an appearance at a film festival,[1] and another news story that was syndicated a few times:[2]. Just scrapes by on notability, as it has coverage in three reliable secondary sources. Fences&Windows 22:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
