Gallino, the Chicken System[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable film lacking Ghits and GNEWs of substance. Claim to fame is it is a "weird movie." reddogsix (talk) 17:29, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I found no significant coverage in reliable sources. SL93 (talk) 01:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Carlos Atanes. Delete. I can't find anything to show that this is independent of its director. I do note that the director's page needs some cleanup, so I'll try to get to that later on tonight. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:02, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to notice some notability issues with the director, but I'll see what I can find for him as a whole. I've redirected a few of his films to his main article, as they had issues with notability as well. The thing about his movies is that there are a ton of sources in places that are unusable as RS and not a lot that actually are. I've noticed some definite neutrality issues in his articles as well, as most are/were unsourced and were written from the viewpoint of a fan, using various buzzword terms and the like.

I'm changing my vote to delete. I was trying to salvage the director's article and I ended up finding that other than some reviews through Film Threat, there just isn't any true coverage of his work. There are reviews and notice in places such as non-usable film blogs and the like, but nothing that I can say would really show notability for him or for his work. He seems to have gone largely ignored. This is sort of par for the course for indie filmmakers, but that doesn't mean that they aren't subject to the same requirements for reliable sources. I'd probably recommend listing the director for deletion as well. I've redirected all but this film to his entry, but if they're un-redirected then you might need to lump them into the AfD as well. I'll be honest, this has the smell of WP:WALLEDGARDEN on it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think Atanes himself is sufficiently notable: here, for example, is a thorough profile in Bright Lights Film Journal [1], and the Spanish Wikipedia cites some sources, for example an article in Diario Sur (about the film Frequently Asked Questions) which is copied at Atanes' website.[2] However, I couldn't find any coverage about this new film--maybe it's just too soon. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:54, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno... that's a pretty light coverage. In any case, I won't nominate his article but I might end up nominating the rest of his films as there's someone that's been undoing the redirects. I don't want to have to go through the long AfD process, but I suppose I'll have to if they keep it up. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:33, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
