Another article about a Scott Shaw movie created in 2006. In nearly 13 years, no sources have been provided and no evidence of notability. A search of Google, Google News and Google Books finds no reliable sources of a substantial nature for this movie. Railfan23 (talk) 03:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Railfan23, Looks like you are busy targeting the films of one filmmaker. Of the films you have targeted it looks like this movie possesses the most notability as it was shown on USA Up All Night. As I have done with the other articles you have nominated for deletion I went to the official website and found a lot of information. Rhonda Shear confirms this film as being shown on her show in her book Up All Night: From Hollywood Bombshell to Lingerie Mogul, Life Lessons from an Accidental Feminist. It is also mentioned in the book Encyclopedia of Film Themes, Settings and Series [1], The Art of Movies [2], Horror and Science Fiction Films IV, [3] and Guide to American Cinema, 1965-1995. With a google search it is also widely discusses. I believe this provides notability and reliable sources. Chinanski (talk) 15:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chianski:. Could I urge you to read Wikipedia:Notability (films) which says what notability means on Wikipedia, specifically for films. Being shown on USA Up All Night does not meet any of the criteria listed. Similarly, being mentioned in the books you list does not meet the criteria. Thanks, Railfan23 (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, a wikiarticle appears to have been made on each of Shaw's films on the assumption that they are individually notable, they are not (where are the reviews from reliable sources, significant awards?), therefore (selective) merge, without a redirect, to the sequel section of The Roller Blade Seven.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak delete/redirect/Merge - I honestly wanted to save this article, but I don't see enough in the way of WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources. There appears to have been a very short Hollywood Reporter review of it in 1992 but that's it. Finding some more sources would help - the above-linked ones provided by User:Chinanski appear to be either brief mentions (not signficant coverage) or not reliable-sources.

Merge Think this article should probably be merged or redirected with The Roller Blade Seven. Thanks Chinanski (talk) 14:24, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to The Roller Blade Seven as not independently notable at least online, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:03, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
