Funkastophales[edit]

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

However, you are invited to participate and your opinion is welcome. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

I have refactored part of this discussion to the talk page so that the long comments do not block up the day's AFD page. This is not an assertion that the discussion is of less importance than other comments, merely that they are a bit long. Please continue to place keep/delete recommendations here and use the talk page for longer comments. Stifle 23:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable movie. I tried prodding it, but apparently someone 67.183.90.139 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) objects to this (see the user's talk page). Therefore, I'm bringing this here. JoshuaZ 05:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, non-notable movie, no IMDb profile [1] --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 05:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. Royboy crashfan 05:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because Google shows no hits and the content isn't verifiable. (Pity in a way, as the movie sounds a lot more interesting than many movies whose existence is all too verifiable.) -- Hoary 06:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete...Content isnt on IMDB because it hasn't been released yet. It is a local film that has played in Seattle and Portland made by an independent who is the cousin of crispin glover. Content is easily verifiable. IMDB is not a standard for the existence of cinema. What does notable mean? The filmmakers web page is http://www.zerohorizon.com/zerohorizonoldold.html You have raised an intersting question in any case...Wikipedia hosting content that doesn't exist in another location would simply defeat the purpose of its existence, it would make wikipedia a cache/search engine. Your argument simply makes the statement that Wikipedia does not have content that is unique. This movie is definitely not a main stream movie and their are many films not listed in imdb. You should state what verifiable means? ....added by User:67.183.90.139 (contribs)

Comment The criteria for that are at WP:V. JoshuaZ 07:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well your prodding for deletion does not meet the requirements here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy.....added by User:67.183.90.139 (contribs)

Do not delete... It doesn't meet the criteria for deletion and it is becoming obvious after reading the talk page that the original deleter has a personal interest in removing the article.JoshuaZ 07:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC) ...This edit was made by User:Joshuaz (small z), who signed himself or herself "JoshuaZ" and was soon banned[reply]

Comment Good eye, Hoary... this was a subtle trick. I guess it is April 1. --Deville (Talk) 14:37, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, very much non-notable. (Perhaps a pity as per Hoary, but that's how it is.) A [Google search seems to return 2 hits not on Wik or mirrors, and both of those seem to be on the filmmakers page. Particularly bad is what happens when you click on the official release page! --Deville (Talk) 14:32, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Hoary Computerjoe 's talk 16:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete...That apparently isnt an official release page, where did you get that nonsense? It is just an html page that was titled funkastophales.html. remainder of this comment refactored to talk page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.36.12 (talk • contribs)

Yawn, I already told you I've never been to your forum, the article was prodded because it didnt meet WP:N or WP:V, I suggest you spend time trying to explain to us how it meets WP:V or WP:N rather than engaging in personal attacks and making an impostor account.
