Birth of a Butterfly

 * — (View AfD)

marked as cleanup since June 2006. I found a single external reference that the film exists from a google search, but don't believe that the film itself is notable enough for inclusion. Someone attempted to prod it once and it was deprodded by the article creator ( which is also the name of the "design consulting" company run by the producer / director (link on talk page of article) so may be vanity as well.-- Syrthiss 19:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable film. Jayden54 21:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to have been covered in the New York Times, but the article is premium only . It's mentioned on several other sites as well, including one where it's described as a critical success .  Won an award at a film festival as well .  It's probably covered on foreign language sites as well, as Iranian cinema is quite popular apparently.  One Night In Hackney 18:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note All three of One Night In Hackney's sources are about a different movie filmed in Iran in 1999, not this 4 1/2 minute Indian film, made in 1993. From the NYTimes site is this information about the Iranian film, Directed by Mojtaba Raei; written (in Farsi, with English subtitles) by Saeid Shapouri; director of photography.

 * Yep, I found the Iranian film sources when searching for sources for this film. They're not the same. Syrthiss 02:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unverifiable and non-notable. Correction: Existence of the film seems to be verified by third-party sources. Could be a keep, if the director was more notable. Prolog 21:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes, this is the same title of a substantial Iranian film that played all over the world in film festivals. If someone writes an article on Mojtaba Raie (it might be spelled differently on Wikipedia) or his film, maybe a note about the other film with the same title, but I see nothing in the article that it merits even this.
