Athidhi (1975 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is yet (!!!) another film article that fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.

The general notability guideline states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

Then more specific:
 * The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.
 * The film is historically notable, as evidenced by one or more of the following:
 * Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release.
 * The film was deemed notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals, when such a poll was conducted at least five years after the film's release.
 * The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.
 * The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema.
 * The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.
 * The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.
 * The film is "taught" as a subject at an accredited university or college with a notable film program.

Fails all of the above.

Now let's look at the references: All three references {yet again) are the database entries.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * A WP:BEFORE search didn't return any support for WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Kolma8 (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nom with ATD to redirect to List of Malayalam films of 1975. I do a WP:BEFORE on every article that typically involves eight to ten tabs. It is important but should not be continually questioned to seem as some reason to invalidate a nomination or comments from other editors. In this case the added paaru.in is yet another database listing of movies and films. There is likely several hundred movies and films in the category Lists of Malayalam films by year but that does not mean all of them are notable for a stand alone article and certainly not when just copied from multiple list of databases. -- Otr500 (talk) 12:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
