Mere Arman Mere Sapne

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about a Bollywood film, without even a plot, sourced only to IMDb and another non-WP:RS source since its creation in 3016. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing better (not even the plot). Fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Narky Blert (talk) 17:04, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I wouldn't go so far as calling Osianama unreliable. Our article about the owner makes him sound shady, but he bought Cinemaya, a respected film magazine held by many university libraries, so the database may have solid foundations. The one time Osianama was examined at the Reliable Source Noticeboard it was judged reliable. The problem is that it is indiscriminate and shallow. It aims to list all Indian films, so fails WP:NFSOURCES.


 * Searches turned up brief mentions in Screen World Publication's 75 Glorious Years of Indian Cinema and Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema, and a 1969 Pakistani Urdu film of the same name, but nothing of any depth. WP:NOT tells us that Wikipedia should treat creative works in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works in addition to concise summaries of those works. Sources with which to do that haven't been found. Unless and until they are, Wikipedia should not have a stand alone article about the film, it should only list it in List of Bollywood films of 1963, which it already does. I wouldn't redirect, since an equally legitimate target would be List of Pakistani films of 1969. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:04, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
