Agent 3S3: Passport to Hell

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:MOVIE. Article currently has no sources other than IMDb. Couldn't find it listed on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritics. Google news search came up with nothing other than a pointer to a trailer. Bbb23 (talk) 21:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: The film has a strong and not-trivial coverage in Google Books, including books like L'Avventurosa storia del cinema italiano raccontata dai suoi protagonisti, 1960-1969, 007 All'Italiana, Mondo exotica: sounds, visions, obsessions of the cocktail generation, Dizionario dei film italiani stracult, Spionaggio, avventura, eroi moderni. The nom lacks of WP:BEFORE. Cavarrone (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per Cavarone.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:42, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep -- Not sure how the editor proposing the deletion picks their sources: of course a 1965 film is not covered by Rotten Tomatoes and the like. On the contrary, it is widely covered in texts and repertories about Italian genre films. Goochelaar  (talk) 22:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's because I'm not Italian. Maybe it's because the creator of the article didn't cite any sources - gee, wouldn't it be radical if we required a little quality in the creation of articles? I even thought about withdrawing the nomination based on Cavarrone's research, but he had to gild the lily and add the ungrammatical barb (my own barb), so I figured I'd let the usual AfD unpleasantness continue.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If you are unable to search and identify Italian sources you should avoid to nominate for deletion articles about Italian subjects. Plain and simple. - Cavarrone (talk) 09:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm glad it's "plain and simple" to you. Next time I see an unsourced article about an Italian subject, I'll try to remember to contact you to see if you want to source it.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
