List of Manipuri films of 2016

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List of films which does not seem to satisfy WP:SAL. Twenty-eight films are listed, but only two have stand-alone Wikipedia articles and none of the rest appear to be Wikipedia notable. No reliable sources are provided for any of the entries including a few which have yet to be released. The article was prodded for deletion, but the prod was challenged. So, I am bringing it to AfD instead. I tried finding independent reliable sources for some of these films, but had no luck. As stated at Talk:List of Manipuri films of 2016, I have no problem if the community feels merging is more appropriate that deletion, but the only possible merge candidate I can think of is Manipuri Cinema and that article is also not very well sourced to begin with. Merging lots of unsourced content into another poorly sourced article seems to be nothing more than moving the problem from one article to another. Perhaps adding the two entries with stand-alone articles to "Manipuri Cinema" is possible, but it's also questionable whether those two particular films even satisfy WP:NFILM. Finally, it is possible that better sourcing for these films can be found in non-English sources, but I'm not sure where to find them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:04, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- for failure of WP:RS and WP:OR. Multiple articles in the list have previously been deleted as entirely unsourced. As it stands, the list lacks reliable sources and appears to be a singular work of original research. — Cactus Writer (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
