Lacks notability for a standalone article based on a short film that premiered on Youtube. When doing a simple Google search ([1]), only one reliable source (The Hollywood Reporter) mentions the film. As such, it fails notability guidelines. Callmemirela 🍁 ^talk 15:28, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable cast, notable crew, and mentions in these articles: [2], [3], [4]. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:06, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The three sources above appear reliable (discussions for 1 and 3) and have already been added to the article. Definitely at least passes GNG. Bsoyka (talk) 22:05, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see only one short article in a reliable source (Hollywood reporter). I can't see slashfilm.com nor bloody-disgusting.com as reliable sources. All three cites, though, are very short blurbs about the film. Having a "notable cast" isn't one of the criteria for film notability. This doesn't meet any of the criteria. And I hope it isn't improper for me to mention here that the article was created by Some Dude From North Carolina, one of the keep votes above. Lamona (talk) 17:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How are two full-length interviews "very short blurbs"? Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 17:18, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The only one that is full length is slashfilm.com. That is also the only interview - quotes scattered through an article \= interview. The other two are brief articles, and the TWR one is only partly about this film - it then goes on to talk of other activities of the creators. The bloody-disgusting one is essentially an announcement that the film will be shown. That comes under WP:ROUTINE. Interviews are not independent sources for wp:blp articles about people, and I'm assuming (please point to the policy if I've missed it) that is true for articles about creative works that interview the creator(s). I did look up bloody-disgusting and slashfilm; the latter is stated to be reliable for the genre; I don't see a RS decision on the former. Lamona (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bloody Disgusting is an established WikiProject film reliable source for horror films as listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep – Per comments from Bsoyka and Some Dude From North Carolina. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:48, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Hollywood reporter is too short to be considered significant coverage. Slashfilm is an interview (thus not independent), so it does not contribute to notability. The third is just a trailer announcement which again does contribute to NFILM / GNG. No reliable reviews cited or found -- Ab207 (talk) 06:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there is prose in the interview and enough in the other sources for a close pass of WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
