Fails WP:NFILM. I couldn't find any in-depth coverage in RS or any reviews to help establish notability. Sunshine1191 (talk) 11:20, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Fails WP:NFILM Donaldd23 (talk) 16:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seeing as the director and the entire cast have Wikipedia articles, and this came out in 1991, I'm going to WP:AGF that the film was reviewed and covered in Indian media in this pre-Internet era. Geschichte (talk) 19:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems to fail WP:NFILM. KidAd   talk  00:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Have any of you reflected on the pre-Internet nature of this case? Would you please make arguments about that so this can be an actual discussion? Geschichte (talk) 09:10, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't completely understand the point. One could argue that, because of when the internet became truly ubiquitous, and where we are in time, the majority of films that exist were released prior to the advent of the internet. Still, this particular film has not received enough coverage (even from Indian publications) to satisfy notability standards. KidAd   talk  18:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'm going to give this film the benefit of the doubt. This film has 108 votes on IMDb, not an impressive total -- but it's the 75th or 76th most for an Indian film released in 1991. Would Wikipedia have an article about the 75th or 76th most-voted American film of 1991? We would indeed (see Necessary Roughness (film) and Only the Lonely (film)). And considering that India is a more populous country than the U.S. with a larger film industry, I will assume this film is of comparable notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The argument of having notable cast and IMDB votes has no bearing on film's notability. WP:NFO may be applied here but there are no reliable reviews or major awards to meet the criteria. If anyone could present these, I would be glad to change my vote. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per Ab207. There is no proof that the film meets general notability guidelines or WP:NFO. I tried searching for reliable sources but found none. The film does indeed have a lot of notable actors, but there isn't enough information available for a stand-alone article. If someone can find proof that the article meets any of the criteria in WP:NFO, I'll change my vote. I'm reluctant to vote delete because it seems strange that such a popular film (many views on Youtube) would have such little coverage. Scorpions13256 (talk) 16:31, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've cited three independent reliable sources in the article. More are readily available. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow. I'll know to do what you did for next time when I do my own WP:BEFORE. There is a tremendous amount of sources in that search result. It does meet WP:GNG after all., what do you think? Scorpions13256 (talk) 00:28, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the film has a good chance of meeting GNG., would you take us through your sources and brief us on how they have significant coverage. Three sources are great but I'd give a pass for two as well. -- Ab207 (talk) 05:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The film is directed by very well-known director and all his other films are notable. It's hard to find sources for this particular film as reviews are not easy to locate. has added book sources to establish notability.

 * Keep as per the reliable book sources that have been added to the article so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:57, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Great work Phil. Scorpions13256 (talk) 04:29, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
