King Khan (documentary)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Probably a WP:HOAX. If not, it fails WP:V and WP:N because I can not find anything on this documentary film. What is certain is that Shahrukh Khan did not direct it as stated by the infobox, nor did Aditya Chopra produce it. The only reference links an article about another SRK documentary, The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan. jonkerz ♠talk 21:39, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable documentary. But I don't feel that it is a hoax, judging by the language and tone of the article. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 07:50, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:NF and redirect to Shah Rukh Khan. I do no belive it a hoax, as it seems to be veiewable online, (not gonna watch it) but it certainly did not receive any coverage. At least the stub at The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan is improvable, while this is not.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:15, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe I should have avoided the word "hoax", but 1) I still cannot find any info on a documentary with this name (the link you supplied only contains a link to the Amazon search results for "King Khan" and its content is sourced from and attributed to WP). 2) The closest match is this 8 disc DVD box of SRK films, distributed by Yash Raj Films, and it is not a documentary. 3) The article creator is blocked. 4) The reference does not contain any info on this documentary. And, 5) Some info is false, including production credits and the fact that it was followed by The Inner And Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan (it was stated in the first draft that this film too was made by SRK.) I do not think a redirect is needed here. jonkerz ♠talk 01:31, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Minor Indian films have little to no available English sourcing. And I am unable to find out how this may have been titled in its native language. Redirects are cheap, and do not require for the redirected title to be determined as notable. If readers wish to know more about the subject of this film, a notable actor and director who has made numerous, often self-serving, documentaries, many non-notable by our standards, sending them to the article on the purported fimmaker serves the project and the reader... after this one is deleted for having major issues. Note, I am by no means suggesting retention of any of this article's probelmatic contents... only that we send readers to the one place where they might be educated about the filmmaker.
