Draft:Daydream Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: You need to show that there is significant coverage of the film in independent sources. Currently, there are some about the location, some about the director, but very few that are in-depth about the actual movie itself. Many sources are also of low quality, like Crown City Magazine – you may use these to reference simple facts, but they do not help with establishing notability.
