• Comment: I think that this could possibly serve as a redirect to the disambiguation page Death & Taxes. It has a review from Variety so it does at least warrant a mention on the page for Gordon Kahl, which means that a general mention could be left on the disambiguation page that mentions that Kahl had a documentary created about him.

• Redirect to Death & Taxes and remove the in-WP links, as this would just create a circular redirect. I've linked to Kahl's entry at the disambiguation page, so removing the links would be the only thing left to do. I'd recommend leaving the history intact just in case more sourcing becomes available. Technically the two reviews can be enough to pass NFILM, but the overall information here is so brief that there's not much here that couldn't be already listed at Kahl's page.

• My thought was to make this a redirect to Death_&_Taxes#Film, where this film is listed alongside the note "Death and Taxes, title of a fictional book written by one of the characters in Stranger than Fiction". There's enough coverage to justify this documentary being mentioned somewhere, just maybe not its own page. It's listed in the media section of the Kahl article, so it'd warrant being listed at the larger disambiguation page. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 21:08, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The Variety and Billboard reviews found by Tokyogirl79 demonstrate that Death & Taxes passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I think readers are best served by a standalone article that discusses the film's synopsis and reception. A merge of the entire synopsis and reception sections to Gordon Kahl would be undue weight so some information would have to be trimmed even though I consider all the information pertinent and useful for readers.

• Keep. It was brought here for notability; "Technically the two reviews can be enough to pass NFILM" (user:Tokyogirl79) so it's notable. May be a good WP:MERGE candidate but that could be discussed in the normal way. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
