Good Bad & Ugly

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

No reliable reviews. The sources in the article offer little content to write an article (can only write the "Production" section and not the "Soundtrack" and "Release" sections). All of the sources in article are fairly short.


 * 1. Source 1 - Simply says the film is a thriller (film mentioned twice)
 * 2. Source 2 - Article about one of the actors in the film (contains information about the films the actor is shooting for) / Half of the article about another film called Karma Yodha. (film mentioned thrice)
 * 3. Source 3 - Article about one of the actors in the film (Last paragraph in article is about three different films) (This film mentioned once)
 * 4. Source 4 - Simply says the film is about harthal (film mentioned once) . Lists out the cast and crew. (Ex: Cinematographer is ... Music by ...)
 * 5. Source 5 - Passing mention (film mentioned once)
 * 6. Source 6 - Malayalam song database

Other sources found include this one (although it is a passing mention) and this one (good long source, although it may not be reliable). The lack of reliable reviews make writing an article difficult since none of the reliable articles are long.

Based on the sources, one can only write an article with the cast and crew listed and say the film is a "harthal thriller". No other information can be added. DareshMohan (talk) 01:30, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep clearly your overview of the sources includes incorrect and/or misleading information (assuming good faith, I would not say it's intentional). Too many "Simply"'s there, but just looking at the very first source from Sify, it doesn't "simply" say the film is a thriller nor does it mention it twice as you suggest above - the entire article (which might not be too long) is about the film! It gives information about the wrapping of the shooting, where it took place, who it was directed by and who it stars, credits to members of the crew, and above all, the film's story is presented in a separate paragraph. This is as good a source as any one could look for. You might have just used a simple search function for the title which is not a way to confirm a source is relevant. The same is true, for that matter, of the third source by The Times of India, it gives a lot of information on the film even though it's about the actor. All in all, I believe it is a notable film based on the sources. And even if it was just a passing mention, I wouldn't ignore it - non-notable films do not get this many passing mentions.

 * Neutral comment. Sorry for my bad wording, for some reason I thought that reviews were needed for films. In that case, all of the sources are about the film except the last two. If Filmibeat is owned by Oneindia, then this source is probably good. DareshMohan (talk) 18:08, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The Times of India RS pushes this over the line, I think. Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:13, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete There's no reviews so doesn't pass WP:NFILM. Nom's source analysis is correct; those sources, even with cast listing, appear shorter than comments here. So doesn't pass WP:GNG. Filmibeat is unreliable per WP:ICTF. This search for Malayali sources doesn't bring up much( IE article is on Clint Eastwood ), ml-wiki isn't of help either. hemantha (brief) 04:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, as there are barely enough sources for notability.Jackattack1597 (talk) 20:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
