Paatshala

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence this film is even under production. The source is over a year old, IMDB says the released date was March this year, and the film's website no longer works. Doug Weller (talk) 18:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot that an earlier version of this was created in February 2014 which was copied directly from the film's website. I deleted it as copyvio. Doug Weller (talk) 18:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

*keep and encourage more improvement and sourcing from Bangaldeshi Wikipedians able to find and offer sources. The two sources currently in the article are significant and substantive. For a released film, WP:NF is met. For an unreleased film WP:NFF (paragraph 3) is met.

 * It hasn't been released and there is no evidence it is even in production or that it has met para 3. And it's not as though there aren't normally a lot of Englisg language sources normally for notable films. Of course it's not impossible but some proof it's in production would be great.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — UY Scuti Talk  18:38, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Question User:MichaelQSchmidt ⋅ can you please show how the existing sources meet paragraph 3 and evidence that this is in production? Doug Weller (talk) 19:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot to ping User:MichaelQSchmidt. Doug Weller (talk) 19:04, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. Well... English-language coverage in Dhaka Tribune (1) and Dhaka Tribune (2) confirm that production had begun, the film's trailer has been released, and with sources either implying film release or speaking toward the film's songs, it is obvious that some filming has taken place.  Those two authored articles sneak up enough on WP:GNG to make me believe it is reasonable to expect that some of these may speak toward the film, and under WP:CSB we should ask Bengali Wikipedians to look in, as an issue is that the word "Paatshala" (Bengali: পাঠশালা) translates as "primary school" and such a common search term makes searches difficult and so we need language experts to assist.   Schmidt,  Michael Q. 21:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * {{ping|MichaelQSchmidt]] Your sources are what is the problem for me. 13 and 14 months old, with nothing since giving any real coverage, makes me think that something's happened to stop the project. Their Facebook page links to Redmark's page which has this link as their website, but it doesn't work. Their website 'expired' last March. Their Facebook page is still active though. The official trailer is dated December 11th last year.click on information. So all I see is evidence that a film was planned and some initial shooting was done, but no evidence that it was finished. The film's official website is also offline but the last wayback url is July. Scroll down to see if anything at the bottom helps. Doug Weller (talk) 21:46, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * {{ping|MichaelQSchmidt}}, sorry, wrong symbols. Doug Weller (talk) 15:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete With no Bangaldeshi Wikipedians coming forward to assist, I can only suppose my hopes are dashed. The following is supposition based upon my film industry experience: as some filming took place and a trailer and music track were released, I presume such was done in the hopes to gain interest and funding for a (wider) release. So... in not having a wide release and its lacking coverage, a deletion is in order.  The article can always be resurrected is this changes.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 11:10, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * {{ping|MichaelQSchmidt}} Thanks. I didn't know you had that experience. I also searched hard so as neither of us came up with something ... Your keep vote is still there, but hopefully the closer will realise it's withdrawn. Doug Weller (talk) 11:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

{{clear}}
 * Delete as WP:NOT YET (films). If my translation from Bengali is right, as of 17 November 2015 the film was unreleased, and as of 5 December 2015 it was expected to be release in February 2016. Pinging regular Bengali-cinema contributor {{U|Md.altaf.rahman}} in case they want to weigh in with a better translation or information. No objection to draftify or userfy if someone wants to use this as the basis for a more complete article after the film is released (at which time it seems likely it will meet WP:NOTFILM).

 * Delete WP:NOT YET (films). Thanks for the ping, {{ping|Worldbruce}}. I made a quick search. A post on December 21, 2015 on the film's official facebook page says, "The production is complete over 2 months ago. We are still waiting for the release". They posted a youtube link of one of the film songs. I also found the movie trailer. Since there is an uncertainty in the release, my suggestion is to delete it. It can be recreated once it is out.  #Altaf#  ( talk )  10:06, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
