The Barbarians (film)[edit]

No assertion of notability. SilkTork *^{What's YOUR point?} 13:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While I expect it was a rubbish movie, unfortunately that's not a criterion for deletion. Apparently it took nearly $500,000 at the box office [1], making it not the least popular film of all time. It's sufficiently notable. The article needs to be developed, not deleted.

Delete unless some assertion of notability is made. 'It exists' isn't sufficient grounds for it to have an article. Terraxos (talk) 03:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a famous film in the film geek community. I don't really know enough to find more notability requirements, but I do know it is often categorized with The Goonies and such as quintessential kids' films from the 1980s. This needs development but I wouldn't delete it given its Imdb info and box office take. But, I dont know that much about this. -Werideatdusk33 (talk) 08:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep to be on the safe side. Verifiable and sufficiently notable -- it seems to have its fans. --Lockley (talk) 23:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:HEY, lots more can be written about it. It is notable as is made 1/2 million at box office, was popular in 1987, it's sort of a cult film these day (never taken to DVD). It was also released in at least three languages (english, german, and italian) and has made it to the internet (in addition to Imdb) on at least one major review site herewhich is a lot more than many second tier 1980's movies can say. Just because it isn't a super famous movie doesn't make it entirely non-notable.Earthdirt (talk) 16:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
