The Mason Brothers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The sources in this article are a collection of press releases following the release of a trailer notably in blogs. Several are identical in every way on 2 podcasts here and here. Identical press releases 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 or translated press release from here to here. The Tampa Bay article is on PRLink or press release page. In short almost all of the links are from press releases with the exception of a couple of blogs and podcasts. Fails WP:NFILM and is clearly promotional.

Keep Article is in poor shape, many refs are no good, but the LA Times and other outlets wrote about it. Will continue to check GNG vs Nfilm. d.g. L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 15:32, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I just found the LA times review...I now know why the creator didn't add it, here is an extract "but this lifeless serving of soggy pulp packs all the gritty authenticity of a gummy vitamin." hahaha I wonder if it should be added! Domdeparis (talk) 15:51, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just found another review..."There was very little that I liked in this rather boring film, including the story and the characters. The run time was just under two hours, but it felt longer." I think we can agree that there are enough elements to prove WP:GNG. Domdeparis (talk) 16:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That said I will not withdraw the nomination to give others the possibility to !vote delete (including the filmmaker himself he may want to see this article disappear rapidly). Domdeparis (talk) 16:07, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep It doesn't have much coverage from the bigger critics/publications, but just about has enough to pass WP:GNG. If there was an article on the director, a merge might be considered, but as it stands, with no obvious merge candidate, keep. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:45, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per plenty of sources available for this released film. Needs work, yes... but simply needing work is not a reason to delete a notable topic. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:08, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do we want another relist or a NAC or an Admin closure?d.g. L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 12:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm OK with a NAC as a withdrawal but I wanted to see how it panned out see the panning of the film; Domdeparis (talk) 12:34, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as appropriately covered to meet notability. Nom, if you're considering withdrawing, I'd encourage you to save somebody the extra work. --Lockley (talk) 02:05, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
