Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NFO and WP:NFSOURCES. I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and nothing in Newspapers.com. The Film Creator (talk) 17:22, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or Delete: The first two sentences of the blockquote that comprises the content of this article could be salvaged and included in the Brian Trenchard-Smith article, as an example of his idiosyncratic point of view on directing films. But as is, this article itself fails to meet WP:SIGCOV or and the other criteria cited by the nominator. Matuko (talk) 18:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Brian Trenchard-Smith#Filmography - I am finding nothing but very brief mentions of the movie, and no full length reviews or significant coverage. It is already listed on the filmography of the director, though, so a Redirect to that section seems reasonable. Rorshacma (talk) 14:25, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:45, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Brian Trenchard-Smith#First American films (technically, merge with the entire page and redirect to said location): there is currently a single uncited sentence about Day of the Assassin in that section, which can be slightly expanded with text from this article (namely, just a statement about how it was a "crazy experience"). As for the target of the eventual redirect, it is more useful as a reader to be redirect to a section with text than a list entry with almost no additional information. As people above have said, fails SIGCOV. HouseBlaster^talk 19:59, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
