No evidence this movie gained widespread distribution or won awards. Does not appear to satisfy WP:N, and certainly fails Wikipedia:Notability (films). Nothing at Google news archive or IMDB, for instance. The only ref in the article is the film's own website, which is a deadlink. The creator of the article has the same name as the film's writer/director/producer. The article has been tagged as "unreferenced" for 5 1/2 years. Edison (talk) 03:20, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No sources, heck, it doesn't even seem to have an IMDb page. The article gives the name of the director as Jim Conlon, and the guy who created the article went by the name of Jimconlon. Probably promotion. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 17:27, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete but perhaps redirect somewhere. While the film exists and Jim Conlon is a Missouri documentary filmmaker who does have just one IMDB credit acting in another St.Joseph area documentary film.[1], his educational documentary film[2] was aired on television, but it seems destined to be screened only libraries.[3] Coverage of this film seems more limited to it having inspired "local" reenactments.[4][5] Certainly there must be some other place within Wikipedia, perhaps in an article on that area's history, where this might be mentioned?

• Comment I'm the AFD nominator. It's not that I don't like the film. It seems to be a relatively low budget documentary, and in a clip of a train wreck on Youtube it shows as well as many historical reenactment films one might see on the History Channel. A nice effort, by a talented director, who knows how to do more with less, and a film which would be quite watchable, but we don't keep articles just because we like the subject.

  • Response: I would not wish you or anyone presume that a "like" or "not like" had anything to do with my delete... And would wish only that my suggestion toward possible mention elsewhere of a verifiable history re-enactment film that lacks enough notability for a separate article is in consideration of serving the project and its readers... nothing else.
