[edit] My Tour
Non-notable music documentary that appears to be self-promotional in nature. Only one secondary reference (to the Montreal Mirror) is provided, and that doesn't check out when I visit the Mirror's website. Contested prod -- tag was removed without giving a reason to keep. -- MisterHand (Talk to the Hand|Contribs) 13:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Added Brian Banks to this AFD; created by same author, connected only to this film. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment the Brian Banks article was vandalized last month, it was originally about a baseball player. I've reverted it back to the correct version. -- MisterHand (Talk to the Hand|Contribs) 15:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Four of the documentary's subjects are notable. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: notability is not automatically inherited. Adolf Hitler is notable, but if I make a "documentary" about him on my home video camera my film is not necessarily notable. The film needs to stand on its own merits, not those of its subjects. -- MisterHand (Talk to the Hand|Contribs) 15:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Reply. Yes, but notable subjects can garner notable press coverage. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete it fails notablility qualification for film and I even tried to qualify it for music, and although it would be used to prove that those bands are notable by the guidelines (as a secondary source) it in of itself dosn't have notablility. The only hits I got from a copernic search were this article and the homepage, no secondary sources avalible from what I can find.Coffeepusher (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - for lack of reliable sources. the film is due out some time in 2008 which would indicate it hasn't really had any chance to garner attention. As an indie film, there is not likely a lot of anticipation that would have generated significant coverage before release. The only coverage that is claimed is from the Montreal Mirror (an alternative weekly). There is a claimed quote for the March 6 edition. The online edition does not appear to have any article on the film. -- Whpq (talk) 13:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
