Doctor Bari

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find any significant coverage of this Bangladeshi film. One source is currently in the article. It is, I believe, in Bengali, and I can't get a translation from google. Based on the other sources provided by the article creator, I'm suspicious about its reliability. We don't just depend on English-language sources, and I'm reluctant to bring foreign films that may be genuinely notable to AFD, but I'm really not sure this is. it's unclear whether the film received wide release in Bangladesh, or if it was straight to video. The only coverage I can find is download or streaming sites. The article creator appears to be trying to create an article on every film related to Shakib Khan (and several apear to be non-notable/unverifiable). As yet the creator has been either unwilling or unable to participate in discussion. I would be quite happy if notability can be proven here, but I am doubtful. (Another possible search term here is "Daktar Bari".) Beloved  Freak  11:56, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment: First, please allow me to translate the Bengali language reference cited here. The reference is from BDNews24.com, a widely read online news agency in Bangladesh. The article discusses the movies of the year 2007. It references the subject in two parts. First, it mentions the subject as:
 * ডাক্তারবাড়ি', 'আমার প্রাণের স্বামী', 'স্বামীর সংসার' -- এগুলোর মতো সুস্থধারার বেশ কিছু ছবি দেশীয় চলচ্চিত্রাঙ্গনে সুবাতাস নিয়ে আসে - Translation: Movies like Doctor Bari, Amar Praner Swami, and Swamir Sangsar brought a fresh breath to the movie industry of Bangladesh.


 * Next, it discusses the widely acclaimed movies of 2007. There it says: ডাক্তার বাড়ি। পরিচালনা আজিজুর রহমান। প্রযোজনা আনন্দমেলা সিনেমা। শাকিব খান, জনা, অমিত হাসান, শাবনাজ, সুচরিতা এবং এটিএম শামসুজ্জামান অভিনীত বড় বাজেটের ছবিটি ব্যবসা সফল হয়: Translation: Doctor Bari was directed by Azizur Rahman and produced by Anandamela Cinema. Shakib Khan, Jona, Amit Hasan, Shabnaz, Suchorita, and ATM Shamsuzzaman starred in the movie. And the big-budget movie was a commercial success.


 * By the way, for your information, the concept of "Straight-to-video" doesn't exist in Bangladeshi movie industry. A movie is meant to be released to movie theatres. There is a separate genre of movies made for TV which are called Tele-films. This is not one of them.


 * While I have no opinion about the AFD as for now, I do want to point out that the movie was starred by some of the top actors and actresses of the Bangladeshi film industry (Dhaliwood), and was a commercial hit according to BDNews. --Ragib (talk) 03:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's very helpful. Based on this information, I will withdraw the nomination as for me, that demonstrates enough notability (being called a "commercial hit", "widely acclaimed" etc), and it sounds like BDNews24.com is enough to satisfy WP:V.-- Beloved Freak  08:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
