Non-notable film Orange Mike | Talk 05:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you would have to consider this film as notable. Evidence:
- Many wikipedia articles link to this movie, at least 8 at the present. If it is deleted, those links will break.
- 420 ratings and 24 reviews on IMDB demonstrates a large viewership.
- Less notable films by the same director/producers (e.g. From Mexico with Love) already have wikipedia articles.

- reply - that last, in particular, is the old "there are other articles like it in Wikipedia!" argument. --Orange Mike | Talk 05:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I understand that last point is 'not convincing' by WP standards. However, the other two stand, and I have subsequently expanded the article with two references, resolving the 'single source' flag. As additional evidence, this is actually a notable film, with a unique blend of asian/non-asian casting which to me clearly resembles the argument for notability by uniqueness described on WP:NF.

- Keep: I think this was nominated too quickly before the author had a chance to add further sources, for which new ones are already starting to pop up. — Hunter Kahn (c) 15:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
