The result was no consensus defaulting to Keep and w/o prejudice to a future renomination. I had considered another relisting but with a reasonable level of participation and opinions all over the place on this, I see little hope for a sudden burst of agreement.

Does not meet general notability guidelines nor film-specific notability guidelines. Google News hits indicated by previous objectors to deletion are passing mentions, and do not discuss the film in depth. --122.108.141.214 (talk) 03:04, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Considering. this mentions it, and any number of obituaries of the one actor from Star Wars who appeared in the film give a brief mention it, but I've seen nothing indicating any deep commentary. Jclemens (talk) 05:20, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • If it helps, I did a custom search of the google news archives of dates prior to his passing and found two articles which mention The Dark Redemption briefly. --122.108.141.214 (talk) 06:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Clearly, then, the coverage this film has enjoyed has predominently been due to the notability of one of its actors (possibly two, if I undersatnd it?); even so, this clearly lacks the WP:DEPTH and WP:PERSISTENCE of coverage that demonstrates notability, or the stand-alone reliable sources. — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 18:49, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm finding that this is repeatedly mentioned in academic books as an example of SW fan films, so I think that at the very least it should be mentioned somewhere if it can't have its own article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 22:57, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Barely.
Juddery, Mark (1 May 1999), "Labour Of Love For "Star Wars"", Canberra Times
Solid in depth article about the film.
Casamento, Jo; Ewen, Amy (14 July 1999), "Labour Of Love For "Star Wars"", Daily Telegraph
article on films issues with Lucasfilms
In addition there is more weak sources such as
"Mel's brother stars", Sunday Herald Sun, 25 April 1999
Mel Gibsons brother is making his acting debut.

  • Delete. Granted I am a little bias since I don't think any fan made video, film or self published book should have a Wikipedia page in the first place, but the fact is, it only has three references. And one of those is from an obscure book of essays (citation #2). It's just not notable enoughGiantdevilfish (talk) 17:15, 17 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
