Beast of Burden (film)[edit]

Orphaned article on a non-notable short film, fails WP:NF and WP:GNG. Created by Studio108 (talk · contribs) on two edits, the user has made no edits to Wikipedia prior to creating this article nor any edits afterwards. User name bears similarity to the name of the production company raising the possibility that the article was created for promotional purposes. I was unable to find any relevant Google or Google News results to show non-trivial coverage of the film in independent reliable sources. The only reference/external link (other than IMDb) is Style Weekly article and it is a dead link. Article mentions an award won by the film — Director's Choice award at the Secret City Film Festival. I am also unable to find coverage to show that the award and the festival would satisfy criterion #3 of WP:NF: "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking". The film does not meet any other criteria in WP:NF. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 19:32, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice. The article has been expanded and sourced, and the film has won a few awards, but there is no substantial coverage. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:14, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
