Non-notable film, only one review found and no other significant coverage by independent reliable sources, per WP:NF BOVINEBOY2008 10:21, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Film stars several established and notable actors Lance Henriksen, Khary Payton , and Brian Baumgartner, which passes the criteria for WP:NFOE which states that "The film features significant involvement by a notable person". There are at lease three reviews of the film online, [[1]], and [[2]] and [[3]]. And, not withstanding those reviews, this film wasn't widely released in theaters in the United States and was mainly released to DVD/Blu-ray and streaming services, which generally don't get the attention of "major" critics. Therefore a search for the film will find many reviews based on the home media release, including [[4]] and [[5]]. Donaldd23 (talk) 14:03, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To follow up on WP:NFOE, the film also has to be "a major part of his/her career". How is this film a major part of any of their careers? And the reviews you linked, three of them don't exist, and one is a blog, which does not count as a notable review. There are several professional reviewers out there that review direct to DVD releases, and they did not review this film. There needs to be significant coverage by reliable sources to keep it, that's the point of WP:GNG. I don't see how one professional review, with no other coverage, meets this standard.

It is the first starring role of Khary Payton. All other films he appeared in were in supporting roles. That definitely would be considered a "major part of his career." Donaldd23 (talk) 18:44, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any sources indicating this it is his first major role? Do you have a source indicating that it was a major part of his career? Otherwise, it seems like that just a personal view. It is not even mentioned in his own Wikipedia article except for in his filmography. BOVINEBOY2008 20:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found one reliable source review so far from Starburst Magazine here, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I added that review and cited it. That makes TWO independent sources now, which should satisfy WP:NFO Donaldd23 (talk) 01:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this looks good. I made the mistake of not looking under the film's other name. Do you have any context as to why the film changed names? That might be helpful info for the article. BOVINEBOY2008 12:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do not know why the name was changed. I will keep looking for that information, hopefully it is out there somewhere and can be added to the article. Thank you. Donaldd23 (talk) 14:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for the Columbus Dispatch and Starburst Magazine sources, which demonstrate notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:29, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
