Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (this is a film which is coming out this year. ) --Mike Ades (talk) 16:22, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Ades: Just because it is coming out this year does not make it notable, but it certainly might be; the article simply does not say so. π♂101 (talk) 20:49, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Piguy101:: Mike was smart to contest the prod. Now added to the expanded former stub, the film had its premiere a month before the article was prodded. WP:BEFORE is always a good step to take. If that had been done first, it might have been polite to suggest to the author that he add some of the available sources. WP:BITE is worth considering.

@MichaelQSchmidt: You're right. My reply was to explain why the argument was not very strong, but it was bitey. π♂101 (talk) 21:20, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Piguy101: I think what it takes is patience and an understanding that simply being new and inexperienced is not always bad thing. I was myself once, and have come a great distance in 6+ years. Just sayin'. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 22:41, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
