Notability
Film notability is based primarily on published coverage. Two sources are cited in the article. The first leads to a is to a list of credits for the film. The second contains a synopsis, a few spectator reviews, a couple paragraphs about the screenwriters. So there's some coverage but not enough to satisfy WP:NFILM. I'll restore the notability tag to encourage editors to find and cite serious reviews and other coverage to both demonstrate notability and improve the article.

 * Hello,
 * The Stub template and the More sources template were already on the page and could have seemed enough (or have they no meaning at all?) and I don’t think the Notab template’s purpose is what you say (not to mention the fact that, in such a case, it induces other users to PROD pages that really are not the type of pages that should be prodded) but fair enough, I’ll put a few sources and remove it. —  MY, OH, MY ! 08:55, 17 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for improving the article with better sources.
 * The notability tag, when not in multiple issues group, produces this text: " Please help to demonstrate the notability of the topic by citing reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond a mere trivial mention. If notability cannot be shown, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted." So I wonder what you think it's purpose is. You and I can not control how others respond to the tag. While I feel that PRODing every article tagged for notability is a bad approach, I also feel that removing the tag without identifying any new sources is also a bad approach.

 * Thank you. You are certainly right. What I meant was that the purpose of the Notability tag is to alert there is a certain type of issue (which is of a quite serious kind). Not just to make sure the page will be improved. Allow me to quote the TPL doc: 'Add this template to the top of any page whose article subject is, in your judgment, reasonably likely to be non-notable' Emphasis not mine. In the present case, it was very unlikely that a film associated with such names, even with 2 poor sources only, should turn out to be non-notable. And in such a case, I think the template was not serving the purpose for which it was, in my view, designed (and removing it without adding any source may not have been a great move but was not a bad one either, I find, considering). But, again, your whole explanation certainly makes sense and I thank you for your time. —  MY, OH, MY ! 22:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
