Film does not appear to satisfy WP:NFP. I found 2 local newspaper articles on the film, one from the area that it was shot in, the other reflecting most of what the original article stated. The majority of mentions are retailers selling the movie. Perhaps should just be a mention on Lea Thompson's page, if it isn't already. LovelyLillith (talk) 19:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: DVD Talk, which seems to be treated as a reliable source, reviewed the film [http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/49378/mayor-cupcake/ here]. CHUD.com also reviewed it [http://www.chud.com/73009/dvd-review-major-cupcake/ here] but I am less sure if that is reliable. There are a few other reviews listed [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1496798/externalreviews?ref_=tt_ql_op_5 here] but none that I recognize as reliable. Then again, I do not work with direct-to-video films often. {{ul|NinjaRobotPirate}}, you may know more than me. Have any insights? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:30, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
• Redirect to Alex Pires#Mayor Cupcake. A standalone article isn't merited, and it's covered in the article on the film's writer/producer/director (and can be expanded there should coverage be found). Rotten Tomatoes lists no professional reviews, and [http://www.capegazette.com/node/21267 this] was the best coverage I found. --Michig (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
• Unfortunately, a few sites that used to review low-budget independent films have closed, making it harder to establish notability for direct-to-video films. I'd consider DVD Talk a reliable source, but CHUD.com is pushing it. I did find a few sources, though. There's [http://www.pottsmerc.com/article/MP/20110724/LIFE01/307249970 this short review] from The Mercury. There's also a bit of production info from [http://blogs.delawareonline.com/pulpculture/2010/11/29/from-dewey-to-hollywood-2/ this article] at The News Journal and [http://www.delawaretoday.com/Delaware-Today/November-2009/Folk-Hero/?cparticle=5&siarticle=4 this article] from Delaware Today.
