Mystery Highway feature film

Hi, I'm having significant problems getting approved for this article. I see at the top of this page some ambigious mentions of content assessment. I don't know what this means. The draft has "science fiction" and "Paranormal" links, but not "film". But, this is just the latest in rejection issues. They have mostly been about citations/references not being 'reliable'.

I hope I will get a reply here. Please let me know the status. Its been rejected, but is that it (meaning I have no way of being considered for approval)? ClarkeMSmith (talk) 19:04, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct it's the end of the road/highway. Rejection means it cannot be submitted again. Theroadislong (talk) 19:34, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me that is not true. I have worked on this article for 4 months and have studied the wiki article rules for many, many hours. Is there nothing I can do at all? I was right in the middle of talking with my rejecter (CoconutOctopus) who made it sound like I could get more help on some problematic citations. I fixed them all and asked for help if they are not correct. I am so close, there must be something I can do. I removed 2/3 of the whole article in the hopes that the mystery error(s) would be fixed. I'm just asking for one more review, please. Or just a quick mention of exactl the error. ClarkeMSmith (talk) 19:42, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have added nothing of use since the rejection but if you feel it was rejected in error you can appeal to the user who rejected it. Looking at the draft I would also have rejected it, it simply doesn't pass WP:NFILM. Theroadislong (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your link for why it doesn't pass. I'm very confused by that. I have numerous colleagues with independent film articles (even short films no one has ever heard of) with far less notoriety (in terms of critical reviews) than this film. If you don't mind, I would really appreciate which of the citations are insufficient. This film is streaming on numerous platforms and has been to film festivals which I can provide reliable links to if that helps. Besides some critical reviews (of which we have 3 in the article), what specifically does it need in addition? Thanks. ClarkeMSmith (talk) 20:07, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
