Nonnotable film — Bdb484 (talk) 20:56, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see much to support notability here. Screened at several, mostly minor, film festivals, but no awards. The Pitch is a contest to secure funding based on, well, a pre-production pitch. It doesn't appear notable in and of itself, either, and certainly doesn't carry the notability requirements for the film. Some hits are false positives, due to the existence of several other films by the same name: a 2012 release that attracted some attention for its crowdsourced funding, but whose ultimate notability is uncertain; a non-notable 2011 comedy short; a 1930 adventure film starring George Bancroft that could be an article with a little work.

Comment: I've removed much of the article, as it was copyvio from the press release. [1]

Delete. I've removed a lot from the article that was unsourced, copyvio, trivia, or non-neutrally written. While some notable persons have had their hands on this film at some point in time, that notability is not inherited and given the lack of coverage in reliable and independent sources, this film just isn't notable at this point in time. I've left a notice on the user's page about COI and I don't particularly have anything against it being userfied, but I do think that he'd need someone to help him with film notability guidelines, tone, and whatnot.
