 * Weak Delete Imdb cannot be generally considered as a reliable source of reference (WP:IMDB). I really don't think there would be enough material to expand this article into a reliably sourced one. &mdash; Finemann (talk) 19:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep As  Schmidt,  pointed out, the film has been noted in many reliable sources. Kudos to  Schmidt,  for such a great effort. Now I guess this article could be expanded properly. &mdash; Finemann (talk) 21:04, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Article never tagged for concerns and sent to AFD just three hours after creation. It is not unreasonable to believe that 1949 news coverage, in an India recovering from World War 2, would be a bit difficult to find. However, it has made it into the enduring record.  The film is found through a Google book search.  In 75 years of Indian cinema the film is among those referred to as "popular and trend-setting films". In Indian cinema: a visual voyage it is stated as "Roop K Shorey's first major hit after he migrated from Lahore". In Biblio it is stated "Roop K. Shourie, he formed a company to produce feature films in Punjabi and Hindi and made the highly successful Ek Thi Ladki."  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q.'' 20:43, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

How do I delete the article "Hindi Movie: Ek Thi ladki (1949)" which I initially created in my user space and then moved? I then created this one being discussed because the one I moved from my user space would never turn up in searches. Apologize for this goof up....this was my first Wikipedia article. Again, we want to keep "Ek Thi Ladki" and, delete "Hindi Movie: Ek Thi ladki (1949)". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pareshbh (talk • contribs) 03:25, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks to MQS for the support and research. Good point about the fact that 1949 was a time of recovery from World War II. Actually, also, India had just received Independence in 1947 and endured an invasion from Pakistan right after independence.
