Ikkareyanente Manasam

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is yet another film article that fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.

Someone created the repository of ENTIRE Malayalam-language or Malayalam films (List_of_Malayalam_films_of_the_1960s, List_of_Malayalam_films_of_the_1970s, and so on) violating What Wikipedia is not. The vast majority of the films not meeting the WP:NFILM and WP:GNG and essentially copy-n-pastes from the Malayalam movie databases, such as [].

Now, specifically to this film.

The general WP:NFILM notability guideline states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

Then more specific WP:NFILM:
 * The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.
 * The film is historically notable, as evidenced by one or more of the following:
 * Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release.
 * The film was deemed notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals, when such a poll was conducted at least five years after the film's release.
 * The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.
 * The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema.
 * The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.
 * The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.
 * The film is "taught" as a subject at an accredited university or college with a notable film program.

Fails all of the above.

Now let's look at the references: All three references are the database entries.
