Please note that it is not standard Wikipedia format to just contextlessly list a bunch of extra media hits as a "further reading" section above and beyond the footnoted referencing — a "further reading" section is for listing things like books or academic theses, not just "extra newspaper articles besides the ones already in the footnotes". Hits like these should be used as footnotes for body text, not just thrown into a "further reading" section — so if you want these to be reflected in the article, add them as real footnotes for real content.
Followup: the creator readded all of the above references to the article by simply adding a single statement to the article, "The film received coverage from newspapers and national media.", and then reference bombing all of the above references onto that one sentence. So, just for future reference, that's still not how you do this: you do not use references to metareference their own existence by using the coverage to support a statement that said coverage exists; you use references to support substantive content about the film that is supported by those references, such as plot details and production information and release dates.
Simply put, references support notability based on the substance of what is said about the topic in the reference, not based simply on the existence of a footnote. So you use references to support content about the film, not just to verify their own existence as references. Bearcat (talk) 15:33, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
