I think this film does not meet WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. The references include two interviews with the director but I cannot find substantial coverage of the film by reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:27, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Withdrawn by nominator - The copyright violations have been removed and the extra citations demonstrate notability. I must admit that when I nominated the article for AfD, I was annoyed by the creator having removed my speedy deletion tag. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:08, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I should have mentioned that I nominated this article for speedy deletion under G11 and G12 but the creator of the article, Werldwayd, removed the speedy deletion notice against policy. To his credit he has removed the copyright infringement, improved the article and added more sources, but when he votes keep, he is not a disinterested party.

• Keep. The coverage in The Globe and Mail is acceptable. It is more a review than an interview, and there is enough non-interview text to count for notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:55, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As well, the Wired article is more than an interview. I think that it is also an independent and useful source that counts for notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:03, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Now there are references giving substantial coverage of the film from WIRED, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (English), Radio-Canada (French). There are also lengthy articles in addition, in Azure, Straight, Design Week, Point of View, The GATE and others for this very notable and greatly covered documentary film. werldwayd (talk) 15:49, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:HEY as the article now has references to significant coverage in reliable sources so passes GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
