894:- As the original author of the article (and a South African who pays by MB for internet, and thus is not eloquent in the language of wikipedia edits) I think the article should not be removed on account of the differences in internet accessibility on our various continents. As mentioned above, Knowledge (XXG) has a need for more minority voices, and deletion of an article made by Africans about Africans will only exacerbate the problem. The lack of web-accessible sources citing the various artists included in the film only suggests that they live on a continent where word of mouth and print supersedes the virtual world. I will argue that even in the virtual world, there is enough evidence to justify the notability of the film. In addition to the above-mentioned IMDB, Huffington Post, and Mambo Magazine independent sources, The Creators has screened at the LA Film and Music Weekend, the Fulbright Academy Film Festival, the Texas Black Film Festival, the Hot Docs Doc Shop, the Encounters International Documentary Festival, the National Arts Festival, and the Zanzibar International Film Festival (
898:) - many more than the one festival mentioned as evidence of 'notability' in the above-linked article. I can also provide direct links to all the artists listed above, but I am not sure if that will resolve the problem. If someone could tell me clearly what exactly needs to be done to remove the deletion notice from the page, I will happily do it. I am, however, a bit confused as my UserTalk message reads "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the "proposed deletion/dated notice" yet the deletion notice asserts "this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed." How do we go about closing this discussion? Apologies if I have unknowingly side-stepped some conventional standards of Knowledge (XXG).
