Closet Space[edit]

Non-notable direct-to-video film with no references and no coverage in reliable, independent sources. I can't find a single review by a notable critic or newspaper, and it doesn't appear to be for sale anywhere. Fails WP:NF and WP:GNG. Pianoman320 (talk) 18:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Page is completely unsourced and lacks coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains (talk) 19:10, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Also note that page creator maintained several pages about non-notable horror movies and directors back in 2007. Apparent attempts to imply notability by creating many articles around films and directors at once. Long since banned for an inappropriate username. This probably needs to be sorted through.

Comment: I found two reviews in RS, Geeks of Doom and Dread Central. Per this piece in Icons of Fright it looks like House was interviewed by Fangoria about the film, but the link is dead and I can't pull it up via the Wayback Machine. It's likely one of the several news stories that ended up being archived when Fangoria revamped their website a few years back. In any case, there's enough here to where the film could weakly pass NFILM and the Fangoria mention gives off the impression that there might be more out there that just got eaten by the Internet since the movie's 2008 release, which can happen.

Weak Delete - If someone could show me just one or two more decent reviews beyond the various blogs and other self-published sources, I could be pushed over the edge. My own search didn't turn up enough to satisfy GNG/NFILM, though. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW I would support Userfying/Draftifying if Tokyogirl79 feels confident there might be a bit more. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:58, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Userfying/draftifying isn't a bad idea, if anyone is interested in taking charge of it. I get the impression that there's more out there, but it's likely off the Internet for whatever reason. Redirecting to Mel_House#Filmography_.28as_director.29 is also a possibility since it'd leave the edit history in place in case more comes up in the future.

Keep While it had no USA release until 2010, it DID have multiple non-USA DVD releases under different titles and then theatrical releases so we look further. Coverage by Dread Central [1][2][3][4] is decent enough for this genre when supported by genre sources Blog Citics, Terror Scribe, Video Views, Dr. Bloods Video Vault, Film Bizarro, and Kino.de. Deleting an improvable topic for other's lack of attention does not improve the project. Sorry. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 09:26, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in view of the extra sources that have been found in the reliable sources for horror films such as Dread Central and Fangoria ( which exists offline) which are different to other genres and allow WP:GNG to be passed Atlantic306 (talk) 02:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
