Delete - Seems to be an abandoned article, last edited 8 months ago. U683708 (talk) 19:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly notable. Don't judge the subject by the current substandard state of the article. duffbeerforme (talk) 22:27, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you expand on why it is "clearly notable"? Just saying so doesn't make it so. We need citations that prove it. DonaldD23 talk to me 01:01, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Following the existing external links we can see that proof. The first, imdb, show it was nominated for an AFI award. The second, ozmovies, has a large collection of reviews of the film from multiple reliable sources. Three have links to the actual sources. Others have a scan of the reviews. I've expanded the article with some of those reviews so there could be a snow close now. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Article quality doesn't affect whether the subject is notable, and in this case it seems to be. Notability guidelines for films state that a film that "is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics" is likely to be notable. It may not have been widely distributed, but the article includes a review from the LA Times, NY Times, and Variety, which certainly seems to fill the second requirement (and meets the GNG anyway). Since the film was nominated for an award at the AFI, I would say that puts it over the line. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 08:27, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The additions by Duffbeerforme do seem to show that the film indeed is notable. Withdrawing my nomination. --RemoteMyBeloved (talk) 09:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
