Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All[edit]

No notability whatsoever. Also poorly written: "is a 1989 starring" -excerpt from article. -Vaarsivius (Talk to me.) 18:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Simply stating "[n]o notability whatsoever" is unconstructive. Likewise, it is quite obvious that the subject of the article is a film, given the stub tag and the categories; typos in the lead sentence are not a legitimate reason to recommend deletion and can be fixed easily. For what it's worth, I've added some basic information and fixed the prose, but as a made for television film that was effectively a sequel to a notable television series that has an article, The New Mike Hammer, this appears notable enough. Additional sources beyond iMDb are needed. At worst, the content can be merged to the article on the series, but outright deletion is unsubstantiated. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The quality of the writing is, in most cases, not a relevant issue in the case of Afd. The article-stub meets the guidelines laid out at WP:NME, especially due to the fact that the film in question is part of a larger franchise. Also, the film features an early appearance by Jim Carrey, one of the most well-known comedy actors in the world. This also is clearly notable. The stub needs cleanup and expansion, clearly, but deletion doesn't seem like a constructive measure in this case. Friginator (talk) 00:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Was broadcast on national network. No objection to an editorial merge with other Mike Hammer content, but there's no need to mandate that as an AfD outcome. Jclemens (talk) 16:21, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
