Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NFILM, doesn't even have an entry on RottenTomatoes and I was unable to find any coverage online. The lone piece of coverage appears to be a brief mention in a Michael Jackson biography. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:23, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not surprised this doesn't appear on Rotten Tomatoes - this was a one-off TV documentary made by a UK production company and shown on a UK TV station... I know Rotten Tomatoes reviews TV shows as well, but they tend to be American series. The production company is well known in the UK, as is the actor who did the voiceover, and it was shown on a major national TV station, so this has some clout behind it. But this was just a one-off documentary, and it didn't have any lasting notability... it's not a programme that people have been talking about since its transmission.

There is an 18-page academic paper about this documentary at doi:10.1080/10350330701637049. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:07, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think this demonstrates notability, thank you. Because no one has voted delete yet, it is technically fair game for me to withdraw this nomination now. However, since Richard3120 expressed an opinion that to the effect of the film not being notable, I just want to check in to make sure I'm not closing prematurely. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:53, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rosguill I have no objection if you want to withdraw the nomination. Richard3120 (talk) 18:00, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
