Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/4 Clowns
A stub, sure... but an article on a film that itself covers some of the very earliest of silent film comedey. While the |nominated state had issues,http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=4_Clowns&diff=next&oldid=498611072 they were easily addressable (even the copyvio), and even a few minutes time showed the topic as improvable.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=4_Clowns&diff=503366658&oldid=503294203  We would not expect that this pre-internet film 1970 film would have the same ongoing and persistant press and coverage of a recent blockbuster... and no, this article on a 1970 film will likely never be GA of even FA... but as an encyclopdia we do well to serve our readers by |preserving our cinematic history. And while certainly the  serves the project well, it is |not the sole arbiter of what does or does not improve this encyclopdia for its readers
