The result was delete. The one "keep" opinion appeals to user reviews and scores, which are not reliable sources. Sandstein 19:11, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NFO and WP:NFSOURCES. I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and nothing suitable was found to pass WP:NEXIST in a WP:BEFORE. The Film Creator (talk) 16:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

--- Keep This film has over 200 reviews on IMDB, 100+ user reviews on RottenTomatos , has several external and verifiable sites discussing it, and may have at one point been avaliable on Netlix. Yes, it does not have any critic reviews but it certainly doesn't have a lack of audience ratings. I am not sure why you want to remove this as there are thousands of film pages with less attention that this movie has gotten.CherriGasoline (talk) 03:31, 27 April 2022 (UTC) Edited to say that it does appear to be on Netflix. This URL is listed on several sites as being the location of the movie in several countries. However, I cannot personally verify this as it is not on USA Netflix. Correct me if I'm wrong here.CherriGasoline (talk) 03:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Offhand I'd recommend turning this into an article for both the book and film - that would likely be the easiest way to establish notability. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep as a book. Reviews in Green Bay Press-Gazette, The Post-Crescent and Oshkosh Northwestern (barely) satisfy WP:BOOKCRIT. The movie is unnotable, but could be mentioned as an adaptation. Receiving 205 votes in IMDb does not make it worth a standalone article, quite the contrary for a modern film. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:00, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The two book reviews are rather short and in local newspapers. The Post-Crescent article is more of a "local boy makes good" story just about the book getting published. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
