Shannon's Rainbow[edit]

Does not appear to meet WP:MOVIE. No evidence of having a distributor yet, let alone major coverage. (Nominating related articles Frank E. Johnson and Julianne Michelle in a separate AfD because those two are more obvious.) Closeapple (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. My nomination. IMDb detail for Shannon's Rainbow is not clear about if it even has a distributor, only production companies that have only worked on a few minor projects. Movie's official website says it's in "post-production". Appears to have a few notable actors in non-starring roles, but no proof this pre-release film itself is notable. Maybe OK after it's released, if ever, but not right now. --Closeapple (talk) 01:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak ~~Delete~~ keep seems like it's getting close, but still a future film. Look at the trouble the Watchmen movie is in...that's clearly notable, but if this gets held up for some reason, is it? Change per improvements, though several of the sources are tangential. JJL (talk) 01:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, and per nom: a single local newspaper report is not sufficient to sho this is in any way notable. IMBD listing only lists that it is in production, and does not confer notability either Ohconfucius (talk) 02:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have sourced the article. It now meets WP:NFF through WP:GNG. Has nore than sufficiant coverage for a film in post-production. Not at all WP:Crystal. As for "ditribution of an unreleased film... ignore IMDB, as the official website says "SummitWorks Films In Assoction with Supernova Media Presents".Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems quite NPOV and well sourced. -- Banjeboi 06:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep appears notable enough, inclusion of actors such as Louis Gossett Jr., Daryl Hannah, and Michael Madsen indicate this is hardly someone's basement hobby project. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would say delete per WP:CRYSTAL, but seems to have garnered enough 3rd party attention - and references. Bsimmons666 (talk) ^Friend? 21:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Passes WP:NF. Schuym1 (talk) 21:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It appears the pass the wikipedia guidelines. Wow, I didn't know that there are such complicated and wordy rules about creating an article. I thought any article could be made if the film had started production and at least one official source is cited. I'll be more carful if I create another article in making sure the project is notable. Anonymous9498 (talk) 03:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
