Non-notable film. Tinton5 (talk) 04:36, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Has more than 1000 likes on facebook, and a real-life screening is scheduled. --Test35965 (talk) 04:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Facebook does not really count as a reliable source, however. Tinton5 (talk) 05:35, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I found this during NPP and a quick Google search yielded at least one WP:RS, more have been added. The work meets WP:NFILMS as a creative work. §FreeRangeFrog 05:29, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Starting to withdraw this, after looking at several sources given. Tinton5 (talk) 05:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm surprised at the amount of coverage it's gotten, but hey- the AfD did give the article some much needed love and some dramatic improvements, so no harm done. I know AfDs aren't made for maintenance, but the fact remains that this is the only time a lot of articles get the attention they need, so again- no biggie. In its original state the article did look direly non-notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Question, could we possibly get some of the cast members their own page? That is, if there are any independent sources applicable. Tinton5 (talk) 18:40, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Typically not, I doubt they are notable on their own (e.g., they'd have to meet WP:NACTOR. As physicists perhaps, although they seem to be students so my guess is they'd also fail WP:ACADEMIC. §FreeRangeFrog 18:44, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to say not, as most of what I found about them was in relation to the movie and in most cases you need more than one film role to establish notability. Sometimes an actor can land one role in one film that is so notable that they could merit their own article, but it's usually pretty rare.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
