This is an article about a short film that was supposed to be made a decade ago, but never was. There's so little coverage, it's impossible to say what the status is. There is some independent coverage. It's use of crowdsourcing the funding at the time, is arguably notable. Maybe that's enough for an actual released film. But, an (apparently) unreleased film, should have a higher standard. Rob (talk) 15:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I considered nominating this myself a few weeks ago and forget why I didn't. Crowdfunding as used in film might be notable, but this film is not. Would note that the two previous AfDs are both more than a decade old, so their precedential value is at least not obvious. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It got a small amount of coverage due to the novelty of crowd funding for the time, but then was never made and received no further coverage after that. While it looks, at first glance, to have numerous references cited, most of these are from their own website, and a number of the others don't even mention the film.

• Delete. It looks like this gained very little coverage outside of the initial hubbub centering around the director crowdfunding during a time when this was less common for films. There was some coverage in 2012, but I can't view the video to see if any production/filming began. I tried looking on social media to see if there's any news about production, but all I found was a mention of casting and rehearsal in 2018. It doesn't seem like any principal photography has begun, likely because of funding issues given that there are still people soliciting for donations via posts like this. I can't load up the website, but it looks like the last post was from 2016, which isn't a good sign. If this does get made then the article can be recreated, however if this is restored it will need to be edited heavily because this article is written in a very promotional tone. I may end up editing it now to deal with tone, honestly. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I did some major sprucing up. I did remove the mention of the award. It's non-notable and I can find zero mention of Stover or the film receiving the award outside of Stover's official website. Running the website through the WM doesn't really show any sign of this being a notable award either. I suppose that since I found the actual listing I could re-add the award, but it still wouldn't count towards notability.
