“Draft:The Summoning (short film)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Only "The Morning" and "The Sunday Times" sources are actually reviews. They are both questionable as to whether the review part of the articles is long enough to satisfy Sig Cov. Much of their articles talk about the group's history/prior efforts etc.

I would suggest finding 1 more clear-cut review, which should drop it over the finish line Nosebagbear (talk) 15:44, 30 December 2018 (UTC)}}
