 * Keep - No evidence of non notable. Needs more sources. Alex-h (talk) 18:44, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Unless you can provide sources showing evidence of notability, that rationale is unconvincing. So far, all I was able to find through a Google/News/Books search was movie databases (like IMDB) and mirror sites and most of the other results have nothing to do with the Japanese film. If you could actually provide reliable sources, that would be more helpful than just asserting notability without showing proof of it. You can't argue keep when you don't address the reason for the nomination/notability issues.— Mythdon ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like this article went wrong in 2010, when an IP editor did this:, apparently copying text from an IMDb prank. Clean it up with WP:TNT and no prejudice against recreation if someone can write an article showing notability for the actual movie. Bakazaka (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Anyone Googling for sources should search "Octopus 1998 Japanese film" as just searching "Octopus 1998 film" will mostly show results about other films called Octopus.— Mythdon ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find English language source on this film that confirm it is notable. Director Gou Suzuki has never had an article here, and I doubt he has one on jp.wiki. Sam Sailor 17:14, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
