Not seeing any evidence that this meets notability. The sources really don't do much to establish notability. United States Man (talk) 02:41, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The Africa Movie Academy Awards are stated to be Africa's highest film honour, If so, this film would seem to meet WP:NFILMS criterion "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking." I should also point out, as stated at WikiAfrica, that the continent is woefully under-represented here on Wikipedia and if there is any leeway at all, I believe we should be improving African content, rather than deleting it. I have been trying to do so with other African doc stub articles. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:53, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per Shawn in Montreal's reasoning. Also, the original title is "Pour le meilleur et pour l'oignon" suggesting that a more thorough search of french language sources may help.

 * Good find. I've also added a French WP:RS, from a Nigerien magazine called Fofo Magazine. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Plenty of sources (did the nom check at all?) including Radio France International who seem to consider the film worth a prolonged interview with the director. Plus seems to have been entered at Cannes...Brigade Piron (talk) 16:22, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the RFI ref - funny, they seem to have totally abandoned their longform name for RFI. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Commment I aleady !voted to keep per WP:NFILMS above, but I just wanted to add that with the French language sources now added this article also satisfies WP:GNG. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 15:56, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
