Love You Baba

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I think this is an issue of WP:TOOSOON to be nice here. The fact that the director could be a Guinness World Recorder is interesting but without any sources about it, I don't see much interest in the film director's goal here. The only sources I can find are but I'm not seeing significant coverage. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:03, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources.  The article notes: "Youngest Film Director From Shirley Temple to Macaulay Culkin, Hollywood has seen its fair share of precociously talented youngsters that have made a name for themselves in front of the camera. But how about behind it? Nepal's Saugat Bista, pictured above, was just 7 years and 340 days old when he sat in the director's chair to helm the movie Love You Baba which was released in Nepalese cinemas on 12 December 2014."  The article notes: "Saugat Bista, a child prodigy from Nepal, is the youngest director of full length feature film. A third grader, Bista, nine, directed Love You Baba and registered his name in the Guinness Book of World Records when he was seven. ... Bista’s Love You Baba was shown in a film festival in Japan where movies from 17 countries were screened."  The article notes: "This year, the tiny landlocked Himalayan country of Nepal was able to notch another distinct honor in the Guinness World Records. This was made possible by an extraordinary feat of Saugat Bista, a Nepali kid who, at the age of seven, became the world's youngest movie director. Saugat was given this recognition by Guinness World Records this week for professionally directing a full feature film at the age of seven. Born in January 2007, Saugat's directorial debut, Love You Baba, was released on December 12, 2014, when he was only seven years and 340 days old.  Generally, a 7-year-old kid only wants to play, sing, dance or study. But Saugat has surprised the whole world by doing something really creative and extraordinary. Nepal's film wizard has replaced the former record-holder Kishan Srikanth of India, who directed a movie, Footpath, in 2006 at the age of nine. ... According to Saugat, he spent a total of 27 days in shooting the movie in different parts of Nepal. When asked about what motivated him to do the movie, he said he has always been interested in movies and acting. He added that his father was his inspiration. He said as a director, he has a say on how the film is going be made, how the members of the cast would act and how the theme of the movie is going to be presented to the audience. ... His directorial debut movie, based on an intimate relationship between a motherless child and her father failed to hit the box office but it gave him international recognition for his extraordinary talent."  The article notes: "Eight-year-old Saughat Bista has set the Guinness record as the youngest film director in the world. The Guinness World Records has recognized him as the youngest film director for his work ´Love You Baba´ and the official certificate bestowed by the Guinness World Records for his unique and extraordinary talent on Saugat has already in his hand."  The article notes: "Love You Baba received Best Child Artist (Sangam Bista), and Appreciation for youngest director (Saugat Bista), while Mala took Best Makeup (Dipu Poudel) and Best Background Music (Manoj Kumar KC)." <li> The article notes: "‘Love You Baba’ centers on the story of a father’s struggles to raise his 10-year-old daughter alone without the support of a partner. Apart from Gajit Bista, the film stars Nishma Ghimire, Basanta Bhatta, Nirmal Sharma, Anmol Agrawal, Ashishma Nakarmi as well as the young director himself. It was also revealed during the press meet that work to register Saugat as the ‘Youngest Film Director’ in the Guinness World Records is also in progress. Deepak Sharma Bajgain, Chairman of World Record Holders’ Council of Nepal, informed that they are preparing to send in proof as required by the Guinness World Records."</li> <li> The article notes: "A student of Class II at Suryodaya School, Saugat’s film ‘Love You Baba’ is due to be released at movie theatres across Nepal this December. Once that happens and his claim is accepted by Guinness, he will replace current record holder India’s Kishan Srikanth who directed ‘Footpath’ (2006) when he was just nine years old. While Srikanth’s film told the story of an orphaned boy who wants to go to school, Saugat’s venture deals with the struggles of father as he attempts to raise his 10-year-old daughter alone."</li> <li></li> <li> The article notes: "Rating: 3.5/5 (Three And Half Stars) What’s Good: Direction, performance, story and screenplay, emotional aspects. What’s Bad: Songs (not bad but could have been better), climax which could have been much better."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Love You Baba to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Is the coverage on the film or the director? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:44, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * There is coverage about both. Xinhuanet, República's second article, Nepali Film Reviews, and 977MAG all provide significant coverage about the film. The director's article, Saugat Bista, was speedy deleted in August 2015. Most of the coverage is focused on the director, so I would not be opposed to refocusing and renaming the article to be about him. However, there could be WP:BLP1E concerns, which is why it might be better just to have an article about the film. Cunard (talk) 22:55, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
