 * Delete. I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody with better access to archived Australian and/or Pakistani media coverage than I've got can show evidence that this actually gets over WP:GNG, but films are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just because their own self-published websites offer technical verification that they exist.

 * Keep The following is enough to pass basic GNG and-or NFILM?:
 * Official Australian Government sponsorship listing
 * A detailed review/synopsis in Variety
 * The Tribeca listing
 * It is held in at least two important university libraries in Australia
 * A major reliable newspaper review
 * I found these very quickly and there a lot more references I have not checked. Not sure how much BEFORE was done. Aoziwe (talk) 03:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep in view of the above reliable sources that have been identified for WP:GNG, the Variety piece is particularly convincing, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 14:04, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Crappy article that was mostly a copyright violation (admins may want to look at getting rid of offending versions). That said, film is notable. In addition to above there is coverage in this book and some in this. Don't know how much but get "The case in point atVIFF was Faramarz K-Rahber’s documentary Donkey in Lahore ... high ground of knowledge and truth, explaining the quaint ways of the natives. Donkey in Lahore gained...". Also reviewed by Michael Lallo in The Age, 14 February 2008, "When love transcends all borders". Enough for GNG. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
