Arabesque (gay film)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced article that, if you remove a blatantly POV statement ("It set new standards?"), consists of just two sentences; does not mention why it is notable as an adult film IRK! Leave me a note or two 01:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * IRK! indeed. Delete as nn.  Spec  ial  K  14:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. Notability is asserted via the two GayVN Awards won by the film in 2006 (for which I found a reference and added). There also seem to be a number of reviews of the film by independent sources linked to from the film's official site that could easily be incorporated into the article if it is expanded.

 * Strong keep Notability is well established.  Clearly well sourced.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Testmasterflex (talk • contribs) 03:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * keep Notability seems established by the two AVN awards. __meco (talk) 08:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The awards mentioned only establish enough notability to decline a speedy deletion on the basis of no notability asserted. This film meets no criteria set out in Notability (films), the assertions of notability in the article do not contribute much proof that encyclopedic notability of the subject does indeed exist.

 * Comment: the article now does address the criteria of WP:NF, as assertions of notability have well sourced.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not my cup of tea, but notability is established by the receipt of major awards within the genre. Needs to be expanded. Is the use of the disambiguation "gay film"" in the title appropriate, or is it more per MOS to just go with (year film)? 23skidoo (talk) 16:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
