    • Delete Interviewing famous people doesn't, alone, bring notability to the interviewer. The abovementioned sources are rather focusing on the "lineup" of the film than the film itself and the director. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 01:14, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Interviewing famous people doesn't, alone, bring notability to the interviewer. No but 1) we are discussing a film not a person 2) various reviews in very reliable media (I did not wish to leave the link to The Culturist, which is not really great in any way, in the list but I left it by mistake and will leave it; there are other sources anyway but the list above is more than sufficient) do establish notability of a film. The abovementioned sources are rather focusing on the "lineup" of the film than the film itself and the director is absolutely not true! They do focus on the film and its content. Because I am not going to quote them all verbatim to prove it, I'm inviting other users to read them and confirm these are reviews in reliable independent sources. This film is obviously very clearly notable and I still hope the user who initiated this discussion will withdraw this nomination. Notability had been established at the 1st Afd and, as obvious as this may seems, it's very easy to confirm that it's still clear, very very clear. -My, oh my!

    • Keep. There seem to be plenty of reviews in the usual places. I'm not really seeing a rationale to delete. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:44, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep as per the full reviews of the film in very reliable sources such as The Guardian, The New York Times and LA Times as well as many other reviews linked above so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:45, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
