This article about a made-for-TV movie has no sources beyond links to IMDB and the production company's website, and the movie does not meet any of the criteria of WP:NFILM. RL0919 (talk) 17:57, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Seems to be notable enough. There are source available online including: The Werewolf Filmography: 300+ Movies Indie Horrors! The Not-To-Be-Missed, The Acceptable, and The Forgettable Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors Hybrid (DVD). ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 18:11, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors only lists the movie as one of the director's films, which is just a passing mention. Horror.com is a fansite. So I don't think either of those contributes anything to notability. The first two might. --RL0919 (talk) 18:26, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I believe that CAPTAIN MEDUSA sources make it pass GNG.★Trekker (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN: The two published books quoted above (The Werewolf Filmography and Indie Horrors!) show coverage in reliable sources. I added those links in a Further reading section so that editors who want to improve the article can use them as sources. I also deleted the plot summary which was entirely copyvio from IMDb, so obviously there's still a lot of work to do in order to get this to an even passable-quality article, but WP:ARTN says that the current poor quality of the article does not detract from the subject's notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:59, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as reliable book sources have been identified and added to the article so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is no longer necessary, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
