This section discusses a source's independence and reliability. </p> <ul><li><b>Independence:</b> The source needs to be independent of the topic, meaning that the author and the publisher are not directly associated with the topic. Authors should not include members of the production, and publishers should not include the studio or companies working with it on the production and release. The kinds of sources that are considered independent are those that have covered topics unrelated to the one at hand, such as periodicals. Books that discuss a film in a larger context or among other films are also potential sources; see this section's last paragraph regarding the amount of coverage in a source. Press releases, even if they are reprinted by sources unrelated to the production, are not considered independent.</li> <li><b>Reliability:</b> The content guideline to identify reliable sources says, "Reliable sources may be published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both." Sources that have published materials in print (such as newspapers and other periodicals) are reliable if their publication process is considered reliable. If these sources also publish materials online, then it is usually fair to assume that these materials have a similar publication process (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NEWSBLOG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NEWSBLOG">WP:NEWSBLOG</a>). If sources publish materials only online, then their publication process and/or the authority of the author should be scrutinized carefully. Note should be taken that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IMDB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IMDB">IMDb is <b>not</b> considered a reliable source</a> for proving notability.</li></ul> <p>To presume notability, reliable sources should have <b>significant coverage</b>.
