The film was a feature film. It had a notable cast it was sold around the world. Dutchy85 (talk) 02:42, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the additional refs that have been added. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lugnuts: How so? The first online reference only states "By April 1984 the Sll-million series will be complete, with 'A Tale of Two Cities' and 'The Old Curiosity Shop' in the can." and the second online reference only states "They are 'Pickwick Papers', 'Oliver Twist', 'A Christmas Carol', 'Great Expectations', 'David Copperficld', 'Tale of Two Cities', 'Old Curiosity Shop' and 'Nicholas Nickelby'."

Delete - non-notable - appears to have been released direct to VHS/DVD - the two references to The Canberra Times mention the series, but this film is not the subject of the articles, so mention is trivial (WP:TRIVIALMENTION) - does not meet WP:NFO: "The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics" nor any of the other criteria of WP:NFILM - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 19:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - This source gives multi-paragraph coverage to it, this sources gives a long-paragraph review to it. Keeping in mind WP:NEXIST and that what matters is whether references supporting notability likely exist, and not whether we have them to hand right now, I think there's just enough to keep this.

Weak keep as per the sources identified by FOARP above, if more are found please ping me, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:05, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
