A non-notable amateur film that gets very few google hits, and no significant coverage in secondary sources. Pollytyred (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok even though i created this page by mistake the movie is still credible and has been the work of many students in Palestine for over 2 years. This movies purpose is to show the western audience (You) that Palestinian teenagers are just like everyone else, the movie is in english, both Shakespearian and normal. If you had cared to click the you tube hits you would have gotten the trailer to the movie that we created. We have an official website [www.rnjpalestine.net] and the DVD release will be in June. For more info i'm here. Oh and many arabic newspapers covered the event, something you might not find in google when searching for the movie in english.--jo (talk) 19:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for bringing those to the table. So the three links Jo provided me are:
These three links show that the film got coverage in the mainstream media of three different Arab countries, largely because it is, per the notability guidelines, "a unique accomplishment in cinema". The articles all find it interesting that these Palestinian high school students produced and acted in a film they wrote using Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as the basis though set in a modern day Palestinian city. The film premiered at the major theater in Ramallah to an overcapacity audience of 800 people where it was met with general accolades just a couple of weeks ago. Other screenings will be forthcoming and it's sure to gain more coverage as time goes on. By my reading of the notability guidelines HG provided and these articles links Jo provided, I think the article should be kept. Tiamuttalk 21:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Tiamut - mainstream coverage, and constitutes a unique accomplishment in cinema. Addhoc (talk) 13:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to leave a note to the closing admin and others : it seems that the page has been redirected to In Fair Palestine: a story of Romeo and Juliet (movie). The deletion template has not been appended to the new page. Should I go ahead and do this? Or is someone about to close the discussion anyway? It's been six days now. New sources have been found in the Arab press, all that are deovted just to a discussion of the film, it genesis and premiere. Those, plus the unique accomplishment aspect leads me to believe that notability has indeed been met. Thanks for your time. Tiamuttalk 18:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
