For a Lost Soldier

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Absolutely no notability or significance; article is written as an advertisement in favor of a pedophilic film, which this article seems to strangely justify. Article has only 2 citations, and no objective or reliable sources other than 2 opinion reviews. No other sources related to this film exist. DocZach (talk) 07:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: I retract my nomination for the article to be deleted. DocZach (talk) 18:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: Reviews in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer are enough to satisfy WP:NFILM. ("The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.") I also see reviews on newspapers.com from The Boston Globe, The Ottawa Citizen and The Cincinnati Enquirer. I also added an article from The San Francisco Examiner: "A Homosexual Coming-of-Age Story: Director takes risk on WWII story". The film has received coverage in independent reliable sources.

 * Keep, you clearly state it has 2 "opinion" reviews (and aren't all reviews just someone's opinion). Two reviews is all WP:NFILM requires for notability. Donald D23   talk to me  17:36, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficient reviews to keep this, and Toughpigs has noted that there is scope for expansion. The article seems more notable than the average American war film. Less stereotypical as well. Dimadick (talk) 11:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very clearly notable. Nominator seems to have an objection to the film's content rather than its notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:38, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
