IDI - Inspector Dawood Ibrahim
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Film isn't notable under WP:GNG or WP:NF (notability for films). Alternatively, it appears highly likely that principal photography hasn't begun, and WP:NFF instructs that "[f]ilms that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles."

 * Weak Keep: a more reliable reference of notability here. --Helper V1 (talk) 16:04, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: The principal photography started. And there's some mentions by the actor on The Hindu. JackTracker (talk) 17:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't mean to bludgeon you or be needlessly argumentative, but, even if filming has started, that doesn't mean the subject meets GNG (not to mention WP:NFF paragraph 3's admonition against articles covering unreleased films in most cases). Also, WP:GNG requires "significant coverage," which "is more than a trivial mention"; the Hindu article's discussion of IDI: Inspector Dawood Ibrahim looks trivial to me: "The actor is currently shuttling between Wayanad for Roshan Andrewss’ School Bus and Kasaragod for IDI - Inspector Dawood Ibrahim, directed by Sajid Yahiya." Cf. the example given in GNG about Three Blind Mice. Rebb  ing  17:15, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm agreeing with you. Their some issues with the references, I heard from several magazines that the movies shooting is progressing. Also it's last schedule is now going on at Ernakulam. See . JackTracker (talk) 13:51, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as filming IS under way and film's production (before filming and and now) meets WP:GNG and thus the caveats of WP:NFF (paragraph 3). Even with the existing coverage of last February, filming had not then began and the topic was simply TOO SOON. But as I remarked then, and even through exceptions have been allowed as guideline is not WP:POLICY, we needed it to be confirmed to have an article per guideline for films. It has begun and it serves the project to allow this stub to remain and be improved over time and through regular editing. And to any worries about it being currently stubby and needing work... so what? Immediate perfection is a goal, not a mandate.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 06:47, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
