Your submission at Articles for creation: Captive (2023 Film) (July 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Captive (2023 Film) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't feel right at all. Our film stars the biggest female horror star working in the lower budget horror world for the past number of years, plus high-profile actor Brendan Fehr. We also have visual effects from some of the biggest companies on the planet, and original music by multi-Grammy winner Glenn Ballard. All things no other film in our space can claim.

As for the reason to be denied being press articles, that is out of touch with today's streaming AVOD platforms. Tubi selected us as a "Tubi Original" film, meaning we never had to go to festivals or drum up press in order to reach that type of sale. And since they derive their income via ads, there is no need to seek mainstream press of reviews.

In addition, upon reviewing the Wikipedia "Horror Films of 2023" page, there are many, many films with Wikipedia articles that do not mention any press whatsoever. That page is: List of horror films of 2023 - Wikipedia

Based on all of this, we strongly feel this decision should be reversed and without questions our request should be approved. Campbell2018 (talk) 23:20, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Our", "We", suggest you are not only working with a strong Conflict of interest but also as a collective. Wikipedia accounts "should represent an individual and not a group" (WP:NOSHARING). Also the "other stuff exists" argument is not helpful as it will only mean the other article(s) may be improved or deleted. Each article is judged against the Policies and guidelines nothing more. Having a "high profile" actor does not make a film notable, however it usually means that the film generates interest that does make many notable. What you need to do is show how it passes Wikipedia:Notability (films) or WP:GNG. Two of your sources are just basic listings, IMDB is not a reliable source apart from a few cases see WP:IMDB so your left with just one the bandsaboutmovies review which many would discount as it appear to just be a blog. As it's only been out a couple fo weeks maybe some more reviews will come out soon and you can add and re-submit then. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:01, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
