Shades (2010 film)

Non-notable film. The listed film festivals appear to be something of a hoax (see this posting), and the film and its actors and director are not otherwise notable. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:44, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not too impressed by someone's blog page yarking about film festivals when WP:INDAFD gives results about the film and filmmaker. Checking them now. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 02:58, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @MichaelQSchmidt: perhaps this article in Variety will impress more. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 03:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What a true shame that unscrupulous individuals have created fake festival sites in order to rip off filmmakers. Of course, Shades could be dozens of festivals without such screenings being notable. It's coverage we require. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:54, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fake festivals notwithstanding, what Wikipedia requires is actual coverage in independent sources. This film appears lacking, giving us a fail of WP:NFF. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:32, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
