Deletion of Bill Sharkey's Last Game

Comment: Blatantly fails #General principles. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz claims that the first hit in Google Books is a ''reliable source''. Although I agree that it's reliable, the notability guideline states that it must have "received '''significant coverage''' in reliable sources". The Google Books result is a passing mention, thus not suggesting notability. Also, the film has not been the subject of "'''full length reviews''' by two or more nationally known critics

Comment: Deleting films from early cinematic history simply because the pre-internet newspapers that wrote about them are now dust, or that the film magazines that wrote of them did not survive two world wars, does an incredible dis-service to the encyclopdia. This is not as if these were films from some indie from last year that were never seen or written about.  For Hod's sake, we're talking about films 100 years old... films that represent the birth of an entire industry and ushered in the careers of dozens of notables.  Who wants to claim that some of these are not in a national archive?  Who wants to claim that no University ever has used these representative examples of early American cinema in their courses on early American film and cinema history?  Who can claim with a straight face that these films and actors were never covered by popular press 100 years ago. I have a realistic and reasonable presumption that such sources did exist at one time, even if some are dust now. Sheesh. These films singly and as a group represent a unique accomplishment in cinema (its birth), are milestones in the development of film art (US cinema), and contributes significantly to the development of a national cinema (US cinema).  These films features significant involvement by notable persons and are major parts of dozens of careers... not a doubt in my mind, even without having driven into Los Angeles to the USC Film Library.  And hey...these films were successfully distributed domestically in a country that was not then a major film producing country, as the US film industry was barely born in 1909, and were produced by this country's equivalent of a major film studio (and some of these studios are themselves now dust). |NOTABILITY IS NOT TEMPORARY

Comment: who not only seems to believe that cursory internet searches are the best way to assess the notability of hundred-year-old films, but also hasn't bothered to check out Google Books, which provides as its first hit on the title a reliable source declaring that this was the debut film for a notable actor, thereby satisfying the cited section of . http://books.google.com/books?id=wc_KHo_MWc0C&pg=PA115&dq=%22Bill+Sharkey%27s+Last+Game%22&hl=en&ei=bRCDTPjcFYT48AaZoKmEAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Bill%20Sharkey%27s%20Last%20Game%22&f=false
