Non-notable horror film with unreliable sourcing (IMDb, blog, VHS tape case). No third-party coverage and zero reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 05:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NEXIST. I found the following sources with lots of material on the movie, all available from a Google Books search:

Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide by Glenn Kay, Chicago Review Press (2008)
Horror Films of the 1980s by John Kenneth Muir, McFarland (2010)
Book of the Dead: The Complete History of Zombie Cinema by Jamie Russell, FAB (2005)
Blood Sucking Freak: The Life and Films of the Incredible Joel M. Reed by John Szpunar, Headpress (2018)

I added them to the article under a "Further reading" heading, so that someone who wants to improve the article can use them as resources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 00:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the books coverage, there are a number of reviews listed here in this list of links but the only one im familiar with is TV Guide which is an ok source but some of the German ones might be reliable, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's IMDb, however, and their external review section contains user-submitted content in addition to the big names. I was able to get reviews posted there when I wrote for Yahoo! Voices in the early 2010s. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 05:40, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An Internet Archive search also shows a ton of coverage in horror magazines like Fangoria, Gorezone and Psychotronic Video, plus a lot of underground fanzines. There are a lot of specialist sources (books and magazines) dedicated to cataloguing and classifying zombie movies. -- Toughpigs (talk) 06:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Although there aren't many sources there are a few. 8Lizard^{talk to me!!!} 11:49, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article for "Night of the Zombies", should not be deleted. It is a notable "Nazi Zombie" horror film from the 20th Century. It should be left alone, or improved. Not simply deleted from existence. I agree with adding more sources. I disagree with deleting the whole article all together. I tired working on the "Horrors of War" 2006 film article, and it got railroaded for deletion, by small minded A-Holes. I have been trying to improve the "Nazi zombies" article, and relating articles. However it is very difficult when people keep coming along and try their best to delete everything. LEave the "Night of the Zombies" article alone, stop deleting everything! --ZombieHorrorMovie13 (talk) 01:28, 01 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the Google Books links, and tried to add more information and sourcing to the article from those books. --ZombieHorrorMovie13 (talk) 13:31, 01 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
