Unnotable made-for-TV movie with no reviews and not much of a cast: C. Thomas Howell is probably the best known. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I can see two items in Proquest that aren't available as full-text but do talk about the movie (at what length, I don't know, but more significant than passing mentions).
- Myers, Randy. TRIAL BY TAPE SECOND ACTS FOR FOUR NEXT BIG THINGS: [CITY Edition]. Buffalo News. Nov 13, 1998.
- IN BRIEF: [CITY Edition 1]. Buffalo News. 11 June 1999: G18.

As these are both in one paper that has no apparently connection to the ___location, I assume there is some similar level of coverage out there in other papers. But they don't appear to be full-length reviews, so that won't help with film-specific notability. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "not much of a cast" are some familiar faces on scifi/Canadian television. How much weight does our familiarity with the cast have on a film's notability? As it's subjective, I would hope none. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NFILM. The only review I could find was from the Chicago Tribune, which is not an in-depth review, just one paragraph. Other mentions are passing listings of what's on television. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:13, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete exceptionally obscure made-for-TV B-movie with a handful of only-kinda-notable people in it. Definitely not notable. Dronebogus (talk) 04:27, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, although with some regret; I respect DiamondRemley39's attempts to find more sources, particularly of the academic variety, and request that, should they discover more, I be pinged back to this AfD. ——Serial^# 12:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
