Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Whine Party

I added some more citations, including a citation from their famous lead's official website announcing the film. This article should definitely be kept as the movie came out last year and has a big name star. WikiConqueror (talk) 01:05, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Did you mean to participate in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whine Party, or are you just going to hang out here where it's quiet? :-)

Since the citation you're choosing to highlight is from the website of the lead in the film, I see that you can use some clarification as to what the problem is. Inclusion of an article requires what Wikipedia calls "notability" (see WP:N), which roughly means that there's been suitable and sufficient recognition of the subject that is independent of the subject. This is because, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia should cover topics that meet some standard of being, well, encyclopedic. See the general notability guidelines, WP:GNG, which call for substantial coverage of the topic in multiple reliable sources. Some additional criteria applicable to films are at WP:NFILM, particularly WP:NFO.

Also, notability is not inherited. The appearance of a big star in a film, for example, may give a reason up front to expect that it could be notable, but it doesn't make the film notable.

Regarding the citations in the article: That the lead of a film has written about it on her own website contributes nothing to a determine of its notability. Download sites, video viewing sites where the trailer is posted, the blog of an actor in the film, the studio's website and Facebook page—none of these is independent coverage. IMDb is considered routine and includes user-contributed content, and doesn't count as a reliable source.

In my own search, I was unable to find anything suitable for meeting WP:GNG. If you read up on these guidelines at the links I've provided and are able to find suitable sources yourself for establishing notability, you can certainly present them for consideration in the discussion.
