User Springnuts added a tag requesting a speedy deletion to this page. Although the article at that point was pretty bare-bones, it did note the film's addition to the US National Film Registry, a registry of films selected for preservation in the US Library of Congress for their cultural, historic, or aesthetic significance. Although Think of Me First as a Person was and is something of an obscure film, its placement in the NFR is a pretty noteworthy honor, and puts it in a league with other NFR films such as Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Star Wars, and so on.

I got a little quick on the trigger and I removed the tag. I can restore it if people feel if the film's importance is still in question. Epicharmus 00:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that Springnuts has re-established the tag for speedy deletion for this article, I might as well re-argue the case for this film as being notable. While there is no set of notability guidelines specific to motion pictures, I believe that Think of Me First as a Person is notable if we use a criterion similar to those already established to judge the notability of other media. A book meets the notability criteria if it "has won a non-trivial literary award"; a video game does if it "has won an award from a notable award-giving body independent of the game creators, sponsors, and publishers."; a song is notable if "[h]as won a major award," and so on. Likewise, as the film has been inducted into the United States National Film Registry -- a non-trivial honor presented to twenty-five "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films" per year since 1988, 450 films so far in total -- I argue this reasonably establishes the film's notability.
