The result was no consensus. One might see a "keep" here is well, since Collect's is the only "delete" rationale that presents an argument--"no sources" doesn't work so well anymore after sourced are added. Drmies (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

I found no significant coverage per WP:NF. SL93 (talk) 22:58, 21 May 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Article has no sources (beyond external link to Imdb) where I found this film with a slightly different spelling: which is mentioned in this book: .  Still nothing that will satisfy WP:NFILM. Gab4gab (talk) 15:47, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Considering that it's a 1967 Indian film the content and sourcing is sufficient.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:18, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It's one of only three children's films made in 1967, and has a star cast of prominent Indian actors. Kaayay (talk) 11:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: I do agree that it has enough sourcing now, but I can't withdraw it per the one delete vote (I'm discounting the one that didn't have a rationale). Although I will say that creating an article with only an IMDb as a reference is unhelpful and would stop such nominations and work from happening if not done. SL93 (talk) 22:49, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The article is now significantly expanded with other references. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:17, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable - and being one of "three children's films" is not a "notability claim" per se. Basically, the issue is whether a film with several blue-linked BLPs is thus notable by virtue of those blue-links. Being in a comprehensive list of "world filmography" intrinsically includes non-notable films, as far as I can tell. A list of "Indian Films of 1967" also only provides a claim that the film exists, and is not a notability claim as such - more on the level of an en passant mention in a comprehensive list in the first place. The "madanmohan.in" site is SPS.  "Update Video Publication" appears not to be a notable publisher at all, and appears either to be SPS or Vanity Press as far as I can tell in this case.   "Hindigeetmsla" is a source for lyrics for every possible Hindi song it can find (over 73,000 songs at least)  - and is not a source for notability of a song nor of a film using a song.  Thus, excluding "lists of everything" and SPS sites there are no sources directly bearing on this film at all  which means it fails all notability guidelines, alas.

 * It's good to see more sources added. They are helpful to verify some of the article content. However they don't do much to establish notability and I continue to favor delete.  Having a notable cast or being an Indian film are not notability criteria. The sources found to date fit the examples of coverage that is insufficient at the bottom of WP:NFSOURCES.  I agree with the analysis above by Collect.  Gab4gab (talk) 13:24, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ssven2. Newimpartial (talk) 16:14, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment It would lead to a better consensus discussion if editors would point to specific sources that satisfy specific notability criteria. Simply arguing WP:LOTSOFSOURCES without addressing the specifics of opposing points of view isn't a helpful a dialog.  Gab4gab (talk) 13:22, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
