Genghis Khan (TV programme)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This was rescued from WP:PROD, but I think still merits a debate on its notability - a one-off 50-minute documentary about Genghis Khan from 2005 that I have personally struggled to find secondary coverage of through the haze of the numerous other productions on the same subject.

 * Withdrawn by nominator — The substantive coverage found by Spinningspark has allayed my concerns about notability. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. This article used to be a lot longer, but was stubbed by User:Cntras without an edit summary, but presumably because it was written in the form of a personal review. SpinningSpark 10:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. It was reviewed in The Independent, "BBC gives Genghis Khan a makeover" and in The Times, "The greatest story never told" (subscription required).  The Times also discussed it briefly in advance "Horesman of the apacolypse" (final couple of paragraphs)(subscription required).  The article could include the news item that several people were deported from China for watching it .  There is also some evidence that the film is used for teaching in schools  which if this were a book would meet WP:BKCRIT#4.  Yes, I know it isn't a book, but it's the same principle.

 * The stuff on people being deported from China for watching it are pretty interesting. Thanks for digging those out. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:49, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. For those that have not seen this film, it is not a tacky, low-budget documentary. It is a major, lavish production shot on location in Mongolia. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 11:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
