Non-notable documentary film. Does not meet WP:GNG, nor WP:NF. Most sources fail independence, or relate to the (non-notable) director’s criminal charges, the remainder fail significant coverage requirements. The film was not reviewed, nor distributed nationally (in New Zealand) nor internationally. The few festivals it went to were niche-interest (cannabis), and it has failed to prove historically important. The film does feature notable persons in interview, but these interviews alone do not confer notability.

Some of us are concerned that the article may have been pushed for promotional reasons, but this is very much secondary to the film’s simple lack of notability. — HTGS (talk) 00:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This page has been deleted before, but someone lied about its noteworthiness to get it undeleted. I tried to find sources to keep it up (because I like the film) but couldn't. It fails WP:GNG. Nexus000 (talk) 02:21, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Me and HTGS had a discussion on this before the AfD was proposed. You can read it here. Nexus000 (talk) 04:18, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Either (self-)promotional or extensive COI. Fails SIGCOV. 2 citations about the director, a press release and an article which is essentially a promotion for the doco. Additionally IMDB is not reliable as anyone can edit it, including those involved, and it would not surprise me in the least if this was the case here.

Delete As worthy as the doco might be, it’s simply not notable. Schwede 66 17:20, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
