Nomination of Liz in September for deletion
edit
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Liz in September is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liz in September until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. —azuki (talk · contribs · email) 07:10, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hiya! I've added sources to the article and the film should be safe from deletion. The main thing to remember with making film articles is that you need to have 3-4 sources that are independent of the movie itself that can establish notability. The film screened at various places, but film screenings by themselves don't give notability on Wikipedia. This can make it more likely that there will be sources, especially if the festivals are notable, but the films don't automatically inherit notability from the festivals except in very rare circumstances like screening at Cannes, and even that's usually up for debate depending on the editor.
- On a side note, try to avoid using places like IMDb as a source in articles. The reason for this is that pretty much anyone can edit IMDb and add information. In most cases the information is correct, but there have been more than a few instances of people deliberately inserting false information into IMDb for their own purposes (furthering their career, perpetuating hoaxes, etc). You can read about one case here, although I'd recommend that you start with my overview of the case since it simplifies a lot of things. Ultimately someone had pulled a con, saying that various media existed (films, TV shows) and had an IMDb page to back things up, yet it was eventually proven to be false. The whole scenario is an interesting read, if you have the free time. Otherwise it's not really important except to show that IMDb shouldn't be used as a RS.
