:Proof of contrary: Out of billions of Google picture search results for the term ''"film entertainment"'', a majority (4/7) of the first row of results connect to websites of the publisher used as a reference in the [[Edna Jeffrey]] article (checking the search term without quote signs, 30% of the first three rows of pictures connect to that publisher). Furthermore, a search engine check shows that although that entertainment network reports about Edna Jeffrey's novel and the screenplay by [[Thom Racina]] and the movie under works, no indication of the network being in any way "controlled" by Mr. Racina can be detected. Racina appears to be no affiliate or partner of the network.

*'''Strong delete'''. The only reliable source in the whole article is the ''San Francisco Bay Guardian'', and that is only used to support [[WP:COATRACK]]ing of the awards that newspaper gave to Finnila's Bathhouse. There's no link to an online version but, from the way that source is used, I assume that it gives no significant coverage (probably none at all) to Jeffrey. In any case, [[WP:NOTINHERITED|notability is not inherited]] by the owner of a possibly notable business. I was unable to find any reliable sources at all for Edna Jeffrey, her book or the movie that's allegedly being made of it so the subject seems to fail [[WP:GNG]] and [[WP:AUTHOR]]. The article doesn't claim she's notable in any other way, so I don't see any other notability criteria that could be applied. Her book completely fails [[WP:BK]] – I couldn't find a single review – and the movie is [[WP:CRYSTAL]]. I doubt it will ever be made, since the biography of the screenwriter cited in the article [http://forbidden.bravesites.com/thom-racina-] mentions nothing after 2005 and the domain movieforbidden.com (also cited in the article) was registered in 2009, suggesting that this material is several years old and going nowhere. I see no reason at [[WP:REDIRECT]] to have a redirect and I disagree with a redirect since, if anyone is interested in Jeffrey, it is more likely to be because of her novel and/or the movie, than because of curiosity about a business that closed in 2000.

**** Sorry and thank you for the correction: I see that Jeffrey's name was subsequently removed from that article so I've struck my comment about her absence. However, your comments about Thom Racina make my other point stronger. The material related to the film "Forbidden" has clearly not been updated in several years, since it doesn't mention any of the things you point out that Racina has done in the last eight years. This suggests quite strongly that the film project has been abandoned. Also, although he's a very successful writer of TV soaps, IMDB shows that Racina has never been credited as a movie screenwriter and his own website <nowiki>http://www.thomracina.com/</nowiki> doesn't mention any movie work that I can see. So we're left with an apparently-abandoned screenplay by somebody who's never had a screenplay turned into an actual movie: that doesn't confer notability.

::*Based on the Internet's "who is" records, the movie domain name in question was registered as recently as August 28, 2009. The website in question - under that domain/address - can only have been launched after August 28, 2009. Typically - these days -, from the time of the registration of a movie domain, the actual finishing of the movie production takes several years. What comes to the Thom Racina biography provided on that website, clearly not all available information about him has been presented. Accordingly, in the [[Edna Jeffrey]] Wikipedia article, other Thom Racina biographies and/or other related information can be added. -- [[User:Rubert ABC|Rubert ABC]] ([[User talk:Rubert ABC|talk]]) 19:01, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
