Manos: The Grasp of Fate[edit]

Non-notable fan film that fails guidelines at WP:NF. The film has less than 800 views since its YouTube release in August 2007.[1] –Dream out loud (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No reliable sources in the <40 ghits for the film's title. JulesH (talk) 09:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 800 youtube views in 1.5 years alone is a good sign that this is incredibly nonnotable. – sgeureka ^t•c 14:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note This AFD was apparently not listed until this point of time. Also, an IP user removed the AFD banner from the article with the comment "Article is relevant as there are stage productions of the original 'Manos' mentioned under cult films"[2] which should probably be interpreted as a keep !vote.

While "notability isn't inherited" doesn't always apply (WP:MUSIC is one exception). In this case, the existence of a notable stage production is pretty much a given, since fanfilms have to be a fan of something. It does nothing to make the subject of the article notable or otherwise stand out. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If it ever attains the notability of it namesake let it come back. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 00:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unless a fan film is considered notable, I don't see why it can't be deleted. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
