Fails WP:GNG. Rotten Tomatoes lists the film but has no score for it, which I imagine means nobody has taken any note of it. TheLongTone (talk) 15:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Has the nom looked for sources? FloridaArmy (talk) 16:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is why we have WP:BEFORE; when one sees a film starring Gena Rowlands and James Caan, at least a minimal amount of research ought to precede any consideration of deletion. This TV film won three Emmys: Outstanding Children/Youth/Family Special, Outstanding Writing in a Children/Youth/Family Special for the writer-director Paul Johansson [1], and an acting award for Rowlands; it also received nominations for Caan and for Johansson as director. [2] And Google also quickly produces substantive reviews in The New York Times, which liked it very much [3], and The San Francisco Chronicle, which did not [4]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This does need referencing improvement, but there are credible notability claims — it won three Emmy awards, and got nominated for two more, and I'm completely on board with Arxiloxos that "when one sees a film starring Gena Rowlands and James Caan, at least a minimal amount of research ought to precede any consideration of deletion". Rotten Tomatoes is always worth checking for some help in locating potential sources, but it is not an infallible judge of the existence or non-existence of proper sourceability for a film — and that's especially true when the subject is a television film rather than a theatrical one.

withdraw nomination. I did do a search, but didn't see anything in the first few pages. Three Emmys are a fairly convincing claim to notability. And while I'm making ewxcuses, I do wish that editors would include such basics when creating an article. I came across an article at AfD that was there because, inter alia, the writer had omitted the fact that the artist in question had been the British exhibit at the Venice biennale and had had a retrospective at the Tate.TheLongTone (talk) 14:56, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
