Merger proposal

I propose that Soulja Boy: The Movie be merged into Soulja Boy. I think that the content in the Soulja Boy: The Movie article can easily be explained in the context of Soulja Boy, and the Soulja Boy article is of a reasonable size in which a trimmed merging of Soulja Boy: The Movie will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Essentially, and because the film's release co-incided with Soulja Boy's October 18, 2011 arrest, it did not receive wide coverge in reliable sources. The only in-depth review I found was a negative one in DVD Talk. While my work on the film article resulted in it surviving AFD, one review... even with spotty pre-filming coverage... really does not meet the requirements set for film at WP:NF. At least here in the Soulja Boy article, it can be spoken of in context and has less of a chance to be returned to AFD for lacking separate notability.
