Comment. I couldn't find any references in reliable sources for this movie. --Eastmain (talk) 02:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no claim to be notable --T-rex 03:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
{{hangon}}'The IMDB page will be up within a week. The short is actually also part of MGM's rerelease dvd/bluray, which we are awaiting final approval on before we mention that bit (The 20th anniversary is 2010, which is when they assume it to be released as a packaged item). It's a WGA-registered, truly officially official real deal positively non-vanity actual short film with a legit backing. --popstar17-popstar17
- Do you have any sources to support your claims and/or the content of the article (for example news or magazine articles, professional reviews, or significant mentions in books) that could be used to satisfy Wikipedia:Reliable Sources? So far, the only fact of the article that is WP:verifiable is that the film came second in a fan-film competition...the other source used in the article does not appear to mention this film. -- saberwyn 07:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest userfication and deletion from mainspace of "Seth Happens", allowing the author (User:Popstar17) to continue to improve the article until such a time as it meets the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy and the Wikipedia:Reliable sources content guideline. The article on the fan film's director should either be merged or redirected into the film article, or deleted as a WP:biography of a living person, who is 'famous' for a single event, that does not contain multiple reliable sources. -- saberwyn 07:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Even if an IMDb page appears, IMDb is not really a reliable source. -- JediLofty ^User_Talk 09:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but userfy, and delete Dane Bowling. If it does exist, it hasn't won any prizes and is not a short by a notable director (even Atom Egoyan doe not have his shorts with wiki pages). Imdb is not RS, so an imdb entry is not a reason to keep either in the mainspace, otherwise we end up as a mirror of imdb. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING#ADVERTISING. Simply self-promotion; user admitted that he's also getting the film up on IMDB. --Madchester (talk) 16:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
