Comment: Moviemaker seems solid but it's been used as a reference 10 times, and to meet notability, wide-ranging coverage is needed. Dread Central is cool but it's a blog or a fanzine, as opposed to a reliable source. The FilmQuest site, as noted previously, does not establish notability. JSFarman (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Needs external news sources coverage of the event and detailed history, showing that it is notable beyond the immediate region. Sources provided are from the site itself and a primary source interview. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 23:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
