Does not pass WP:NFILM. Found one review here but does not look reliable. PROD removed with no improvements. DareshMohan (talk) 06:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable as far as I could tell, which was why I proposed deletion for it. Not sure why Donaldd23 removed it, as they did not make an argument for keeping, just to send it to AFD. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as I have not been able to find even date-specific newspaper coverage of the film, let alone anything significant and reliable. A few of these TV-films I have looked into previously tend to have some barely-acceptable coverage, but not seeing that here. An article which has existed for ~14 years may not be uncontroversial when considering deletion, which could be why the PROD was removed, though consensus always wins out.

Delete. Literally all I can find here is a very short blurb in Gerald Pratley's A Century of Canadian Cinema, which isn't enough all by itself — even on newspaper database searches to seek out 20-year old coverage that might not have Googled well, I still found literally jack spit.
