Non notable conjecture. It is not even easy to understand what this article is really about and when you do, the content is mixture of stories, books oassagess and analyses –Ammarpad (talk) 19:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. The current version of the article is cryptic and problematic, but its subject—Ghanaian movie posters—is an art genre that has received substantial attention.  In addition to the sources noted in the article, see e.g. "How Ghana's Gory, Gaudy Movie Posters Became High Art", The Atlantic, February 4, 2016; "Hollywood reimagined: Ghana's weird and wonderful movie posters", CNN, April 28, 2014; museum exhibits from the Bowers Museum (2017), New Britain Museum of American Art (2017) ,  Mass MOCA (2003) ;  Fowler Museum (2001) , and more.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The sources in the article would appear sufficient. Since they are mostly printed, we normally AGF with respect to them unless shown otherwise. the main thing that needs to be done is to change the title, I suggest to 'Hand-painted movie posters in Ghana. If the osurces hold up, this is not in any sense an aessay or OR., andthe sources would seem to show notability  .  DGG ( talk ) 22:17, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes all notability criteria. Significant coverage by a book, another book, a CNN report, an Atlantic report... and so on. Aditya (talk • contribs) 18:45, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I have reviewed your sources both CNN and Atlantic are talking about Ghanaian Cinema in general for which movie poster is subset. Being written about in CNN doesn't mean automatic standalone page, especially when the parent page Cinema of Ghana is in need of content and sourcing attention. So at least I agree merging is better than deletion but not standalone page which will later linger with tags for years because it is subsatantially base on 2 reports. And note that, they no longer now paint the posters, it was just CNN report that resuscitate discussion of the art which flourished between 1970's to late 1980s. –Ammarpad (talk) 04:56, 3 December 2017 (UTC) –Modified 09:27, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Cinema of Ghana and/or Film poster. I don't think this topic is sufficiently notable as to require a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:04, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
