Nishan (2013 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is about a minor, non-notable film. Even if it's assumed that ref 1, which I can't access, is SIGCOV, the rest are not. Ref 2 is a trivial mention in brackets, whereas ref 3 and 4 are further trivial, one being a non-SIGCOV interview and another being routine news coverage that violates WP:GNG's guidelines. Even if this website is reliable (which it's probably not), it violates that not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources. Ref 5 and 6 are obviously trivial; also, I should note the Medal of Honour is the English name of the film, not an award it won. WP:BEFORE search fails to find in-depth RS refs. Previous PROD by User:Donaldd23 removed by User:The Supermind. Sidenote: Given the probable lack of critical coverage, the article is almost purely a plot and cast summary, unfortunately.

 * Delete, nothing has changed since my original PROD. All sources are trivial and no in depth reviews found. Donald D23   talk to me  12:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete above source assessment seems correct, trivial mentions, long way from GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 16:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. I was able to access the first reference on JSTOR, and there are two sentences about the film on page 29 which uses it's plot as an example of heroic Ethiopian portrayals in film, and another brief mention on page 36 which is a sentence about where it was screened as a digital film. Even if we were to consider that significant coverage, it is the only reference with anything approaching significant coverage. - Aoidh (talk) 22:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
