 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Nigeria.  Donald D23   talk to me  05:04, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I tagged for notability, which was and is an issue. No further case for notability has been made. Sources are tangential, passing or in fact don't mention (in the case of ref 1) the film at all! We indeed have no reviews, awards or other evidence of any enduring impact. Fails WP:GNG; WP:NFILM.

 * Keep — there are multiple reliable and independent sources that meets the general notability guidelines (before any other SNG). I'll provide them when I switch to my computer. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Would you care to list these sources? Just saying there are reviews and sources does not make this pass notability. They need to be identified, and they have yet to be listed here or added to the article. Thanks. Donald D23   talk to me  19:33, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep -
 * Significantly: It was directed by of Africa's most recognized directors, Biyi Bandele and this was his last hit before he passed on months ago. This movie premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival is based on Death and the King's Horseman by Wole Soyinka, the first black person and African to win a Nobel prize for literature. Can you feel the weight of its significance?
 * WP:NFILM
 * - The film has significant and independent coverage across sources that are reliable (see WP:NAIJARS). If you would click each of the references objectively, you will see.
 * - In Other evidence of notability, the film strongly meets criteria (2). We know not all films are required to meet all 5.
 * - Under inclusion criteria, it meets 2 and 3.
 * Let's continue making Wikipedia a place for notable knowledge even on subjects from countries far and less known to us. Danidamiobi (talk) 08:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per Reading Beans and Danidamiobi above.  Princess of Ara  04:02, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
