Lakme (2016 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails my WP:BEFORE checks at Google News and Google Books (See this search). Fails WP:GNG as there doesn't appear to be anything significant about the subject via normal Google search. Nothing at Bollywood Hungama, for instance. No indication via sourced prose that principal photography has commenced, so it fails WP:NFF for now. I did find this reference at deewaneindia.com, but it doesn't do much to help establish notability, and note that the article creator calls himself Deewane India.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I'd opine a temporary deletion until we have A) confirmation of filming and B) more sources toward production. Not that WP:BEFORE wasn't followed, but a flaw inherent with Google is that it does not does not crawl nor index Indian newspaper articles properly. Understanding and addressing this flaw,  created Indian-specific search engines at WP:INDAFD. For Indian topics, it is best used when Google fails us.... and it gives us "Sanjay Khandelwal" "Rayya Labib" "Devender Kishor" "Jitu Bhowmik" "Lakme".   So we have sourcability, but not enough to meet WP:NFF (paragraph 3).  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 04:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

 * DELETE: I'm all for saving articles; however, if the author cannot find reliable sources before the end of this AfD, it should just be deleted. Sending it to the "stet docket" does nothing. It will just sit there until the power stops running to the Wikipedia server. Either delete it or fix it. It's me...Sallicio!$\color{Red} \oplus$ 23:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Having available sources is not the issue... verification of filming IS.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 10:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete; as no evidence of notability, Can easily be recreated in 2016 or someone can go to WP:REFUND in 2026. – Davey 2010 Talk 03:02, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
