Well what information do you suggest I add? Those are all mentions, but they are mentions to a film that was picked up for distribution and touring around the world at festivals, being covered by all massive news sources.

Shockya is a okay start on demonstrating notability, although the interview format is not the best for that purpose. Wikipedia is not so interested in what Watts has to say about Watts, but in what others say about him. IndieWire is a passing mention, and movieweb.com doesn't mention him. IMDb does nothing to help establish notability. Also, being user-generated, it is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference, see Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb.
Being on the festival circuit generally doesn't make a film notable. Even if the film is notable, notability is not inherited, so it wouldn't automatically make everyone connected with the film notable. I'm not sure what "all massive news sources" are, but if Variety has profiled Watts,The New York Times has a few column inches about him, the BBC has done a documentary on him, or University of Illinois Press has published a biography of him, by all means reference them. The draft needs significant coverage of the topic in multiple, independent, reliable sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:47, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the announcement of the movie via a major entertainment source. What else can I add at this point.

If you added the most recent news in a reliable source, then there is nothing you can add that will get the draft accepted at this time. Per WP:NFF, "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles." If a more recent reliable source says shooting has begun, but the film still hasn't been released, then the draft still shouldn't be accepted "unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." Best practice is to wait until the film is released and you can reference professional reviews. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OscarNR (talk) 16:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC) I recently submitted a page for my band that has recently been finding success. I just want to make sure I'm submitting correctly. I don't see a way to add an image? Hopefully I got the reference section correct. Here is the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:No_Resolve[reply]

Hello, Oscar. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Uploading images can be a complex process, for which WP:Uploading images will be a useful introduction. However, uploading an image probably is not your biggest concern right now. I took a look at your draft and found that it fails to conform with even the most basic elements of Wikipedia's formatting and style guides, You might want to look through our WP:Tutorial to learn basics about headings, referencing and other such basic matters. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here. NewYorkActuary (talk) 09:26, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
