Raising Genius[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Rottentomatoes shows zero published reviews for this film. It appears to fail Wikipedia:Notability (films). It has been listed as unsourced for nearly 2 years and no reliable in-depth sources seem to exist. (Note that WP:NF explicitly disallows comprehensive database listings such as IMDB or Rottentomatoes as counting towards notability). I previously tried prodding this, but that was removed without improvement. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:40, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I just began work on this and find it a bit difficult to believe that a film with so many notables is completely unsourcable. Someone somewhere must have written of it. I'll continue and report back. Cheers. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 10:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so too, but I didn't come up with much. Other than bare directory listings: A three-sentence review in VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever [1]. A brief mention in a widely republished AP article about Wendy Malick. [2] A paragraph in an about.com interview with Danica McKellar. [3]. A passing mention that Shirley Jones is in the film, in a Variety column. [4] Perhaps you'll have better results. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per meeting WP:NF#Other evidence of notability and having commercial airing more than five years after first screening. See: TV Weekly - August 21, 2011. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 22:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And just a little more coverage of it under its pre-release title: Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:52, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
