Documentary?

There was an edit war on this page leading up to a report at WP:AN3. After hearing from Skarz, whose point of view is to labelled it as a documentary to reduce the bias of the article and represent the fact that your quote came directly from the SPLC at User_talk:Isi96#Hellstorm_(film), they provided the following sources to back the label up:

And so I did an analysis on Isi96's talk page in response:

wikidata - a sister project of wikipedia, user generated content, therefore not should not be relied upon to build a consensus.
IMDB - See WP:IMDB. We generally do not use the site for reference or support. (bumping this up primarily because many of the sources you indicated are using IMDB as the source).
genocidescholars.org - a single paragraph with a link to the trailer. there's no WP:SIGCOV nor critical coverage. This seems to be just a quick republishing of publicity materials... which is duplicate of what is in plex.tv below, and in IMDB above.
plex.tv - show listing. republication of information taken from IMDB.
leterboxd.com - relies on The Movie Database for film data, which is also a community site, therefore WP:UGC as well.
AVClub - powered by IMDB.

At this point, I would like to reiterate my point that Skarz should try to find more reliable, independent sources to back the documentary label per WP:BURDEN. – robertsky (talk) 14:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
