I don't think this film meets
WP:GNG and
WP:FILM. It is essentially an amateur film, a documentary of student life. There is a review on IMDb (not a reliable source) but it is provided by Danny McManus, the film's producer, editor, actor and film-maker. I can find no substantial coverage in reliable independent sources.

Delete on account of subject failing
WP:NFILM. The cited sources are strictly college-related. The Carolinian is a student newspaper in
UNCG; State Press is a student newspaper in
ASU; the "Hazing Clearinghouse" is a personal blog written by a former
Franklin professor; finally, the aforementioned "entire fucking feature" is in a
college magazine. None of these sources are relevant in this context. Our article is not about a college or "college life" but about a film; perhaps it might be mentioned in articles related to student life. -

Comment - there's nothing inherently unreliable about student or university publications.
The State Press may or may not be a bit too close, since that university is where this film was created. College Times doesn't seem to be a student-created publication, though it's intended for students and is distributed at several local campuses, including ASU. That said, I don't think the film is notable, but it's somewhat borderline.

The bit about "nothing inherently unreliable" is one with which I fully agree. The assessment of student and university publications as being not enough for the subject at hand has been made in the context of the AfD: It should be expected that a film (whether fiction of non-fiction) with its main context being, say,
scuba diving, would generate comments and interest in the scuba diving media, community, and websites. So, college media devotes space to a film on "college life." Nothing unexpected or unexceptional. To some, of course, as seen above, that may be enough for
verifiable evidence of a film's notability. It's just that for me it isn't. -

Delete. Not notable. Doesn't meet
WP:FILM. The presented sources don't meet
WP:NFSOURCES, because these student papers don't have a reliable publication process, and are not considered authoritative in the field of film. — Newslingertalk02:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)reply
