- Comment: The footnotes have been improperly coded -- information on how to add footnotes can be found at WP:REFB. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:51, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: The only change since the last decline was the addition of some references that cite only to a web site, and not to any particular page for the site. Furthermore, two of the cited web sites don't seem to have any useful content. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:51, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Simply not enough in-depth third-party news and reviews. SwisterTwister talk 04:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: @Luuuummm:, this is greatly improved but still needs work. Please look on GoogleNews and you'll see there are a number of major news articles that discuss the film, reactions to it, controversies about concept and ownership, etc. Please add in more coverage about how the film has had an impact, and cite it to those news sources. Once you fix that we should be able to publish. MatthewVanitas (talk) 03:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
