Star Wars: Threads of Destiny[edit]

This is an unnotable fan film. References provided do not satisfy WP:GNG. Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2013 (UTC) Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which of the 5 criteria in the General notability guideline are not satisfied? And how would this newspaper article qualify? http://arkiv.mitti.se:4711/2009/14/haninge/MIHA20A20090331HAV1.pdf (If you don't know Swedish it can be translated by copying and pasting the text on Google Translate) DarkSapiens (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep per pushing up on WP:GNG and WP:NF. IE: [1] [2] [3] (and hopefully more though the assistance of Swedish Wikipedans). It's a fan film (well done one too) and we do not expect that such fan-cult-based works have the same level of coverage as do big-budget studio-financed highly-advertised blockbusters. We need consider though that cult status of the Star Wars series has resulted in a number of Star Wars fan film articles that serve the project and its readers. This appears to be one... and notable to Sweden with Swedish language sourcing should be notable enough for en.Wikipeia Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 05:29, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I must say, doing similar source searches for other fan films with Wikipedia articles yield similar results (none in Google news in most cases, and I only tried the better known ones). Also, one must note that Threads of Destiny is still unreleased, and this has an impact on its current notability. If the page gets deleted and in a couple of months the number of sources talking about it increases tenfold (for example), will the work in Wikipedia have to be redone?

One of the available options is that this could be placed in the WP:INCUBATOR for a short time as more sources come forward. It could also be moved into a user workspace for a time. And if it is deleted, someone with the admin tools, can always undelete it when the topic receives more coverage. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 17:04, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Michaelzeng7 (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems notable per the sources provided by Schmidt. (Better link to #2: [4]). Those sources are all pretty old, though, so hopefully once the film is released some more recent coverage will pop up. --Cerebellum (talk) 01:16, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
