*Delete as a copy violation [https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Mermaid_(2000_film) shown here] thanks, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:01, 30 July 2019 (UTC) struck delete vote, see below Atlantic306 (talk) 14:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

:*Only the plot summary was a copyright violation, I've removed it. Hut 8.5 21:24, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

:*:{{u|Hut 8.5}}, now the article is a cast list. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 00:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

::*No, it's a once sentence stub with a cast list. The major question here is whether the subject meets the notability guidelines, if it does then the fact the article is short isn't an issue. Hut 8.5 06:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

:::*Pinging {{u|Atlantic306}} to take another look now that there are sources below and the copyvio reason has been resolved. matt91486 (talk) 11:42, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

• Keep - There is at least two major reviews here Variety and LA Times: [https://variety.com/2000/tv/reviews/mermaid-1200462165/] [https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-uRpmRgKYloJ:https://www.latimes.com/nydn-archives-nydn-features-daddy-girl-lost-1-875219-story.html+&cd=40&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-b-1-d]. Given this, and other sources like BFI that have been added to article, enough for keep. matt91486 (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

::Note: the LA Times is actually a New York Daily News reprint, but I think the sufficiency still stands. matt91486 (talk) 11:14, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

:::{{u|Matt91486}}, erm those articles aren't added. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 11:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

::::Refresh the page, I posted this before I posted the edits I was making. I didn't exactly expect someone to click in that 70 second period. {{u|Tyw7}}. Also...it shouldn't matter if they were added, as just the sources existing is sufficient. But they have been all the same. matt91486 (talk) 11:20, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

• Additional Comment -- Apparently both Ferland and Burstyn received Emmy nominations for the film as well, adding to notability. See 28th Daytime Emmy Awards. [https://www.bustle.com/p/is-milly-bobby-brown-the-youngest-emmy-nominee-ever-the-stranger-things-actor-just-got-her-first-nom-70000]. matt91486 (talk) 11:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
• :{{u|Matt91486}}, not a requirement for NFilm. "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking." --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

::I never said it was a "requirement," but I said it likely adds to its notability. I think in a broad sense receiving Emmy nominations would make any TV movie more historically significant. That doesn't strike me as a controversial statement. matt91486 (talk) 06:11, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

• Keep as it is no longer a copyvio and has reviews in reliable sources added to the article (not that they have to be, see WP:NEXIST) so that WP:GNG and WP:NFILM are passed and the Emmy Awards are obviously connected to the film, (acting counts as film making) regards Atlantic306 (talk) 14:17, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
