Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films with similar themes and release dates (3rd nomination)
List of films with similar themes and release dates has not been able to exercise any sort of notability as an article.  Under , "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.  'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject '''directly in detail''', and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but less than exclusive." (Bolding is mine.)  Furthermore, the note for that particular passage says, "Note 1: Examples: The 360-page book by Sobel and the 528-page book by Black on IBM are plainly non-trivial. '''The one sentence mention by Walker of the band Three Blind Mice in a biography of Bill Clinton (Martin Walker. "Tough love child of Kennedy", The Guardian, January 6, 1992. ) is plainly trivial.'''"  (Bolding is mine again.)  As I have said and some other editors have said, the so-called phenomenon of copycat films or copycat media in general need to be explored with significant coverage, and not through reviews saying, "Hey, these films came out at the same time and have the same plot.  Anyway, the first one was good, and the second one sucked."  The listing of these details are |indiscriminate details that are |synthesized to support the argument of this topic.  "Significant coverage" would be more appropriate, and if there is no detailed commentary on this phenomenon, then it may not necessarily have encyclopedic value
