Delete due to lack of notability. I could not find any relevant results for this film, not even DVD reviews on horror websites (which tend not to be reliable sources anyway). Erik (talk | contribs) 20:22, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Pardon Erik, but Monsters & Critics is just where one might expect to find such a review.[1] Was not difficult to find. I'll look for more.Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Is there anything beyond that? It didn't show up in search results for some reason; I assume you found it via IMDb. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
More to search, certainly. I've found that many of these have searchable review databases, and some are even decently acceptable as sources. Will ignore the false positives from films about the band, dig more and advise.Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:47, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with redirecting to Brain Damage Films; we can update machine head (disambiguation) accordingly. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:22, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Brain Damage Films. Did lots of digging, and found in in various databases,[2] but apart from the one decent review at M&C, I was unable to find any further significant coverage of this indie film. Might be fun to watch , but lacks independent notability. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep or~~ merge to Brain Damage Films. Per WP:PROFESSIONAL (an essay based on WP:GNG), some reviews by professional critics like Horror News and maybe cduniverse - show some fringe notability - on the doubt, it seems enough to err on the side of WP:PRESERVEing the WP:IMPERFECT article.

Strike that, the Horror News entry is for a more recent 2011 film. Diego (talk) 10:34, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

  - Tried many such similar searches, and found myself hampered by Machine Head (band) having so much more coverage. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:22, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
