Article fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NFO and WP:NFSOURCES; I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes; I did a WP:BEFORE and found no suitable/reliable sources or reviews to pass WP:NEXIST. The Film Creator (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found plenty of reviews. There was also quite a bit of discussion about this film's notability as being the last starring role for Fraser before his comeback with The Whale. --Nicholas0 (talk) 23:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability-building reviews aren't just "any review you can find on any website that exists" — a review still has to come from a WP:GNG-worthy media outlet, and not from just any amateur film review blog or podcast you can find. Bearcat (talk) 15:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The film doesn't automatically pass GNG just because its existence gets passingly namechecked in some coverage of one of its stars making a triumphant comeback in an unrelated film a decade later — it has to be the subject of GNG-worthy coverage about it, not just a thing that gets glancingly mentioned in coverage about a different film, to pass GNG. But as I specified above in my response to another user's comment, the reviews cited here aren't from GNG-worthy media outlets, but come from blogs or podcasts that aren't reliable sources at all, so they aren't helping to establish notability either.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete no critical reviews on Rotten Tomatoes [1] and I can't find any. It's a straight to DVD film, which is about as non-notable as most films of the week are (wikipedia "notability"-wise). They're made cheaply, sold at a lower price point and are quickly forgotten about. Oaktree b (talk) 22:31, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's mostly discussed as the last "garbage" film he made before The Whale [2] is about the best mention in RS of it I can find (calling it quickly forgotten). People has an extensive list of his career from the 90s to today [3] and this film isn't even mentioned. I don't know what we expect to find, but it's not at GNG or FILM.
