Pratap (Film)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A film totally lacking reliable sources to satisfy WP:MOVIE (just links to websites for participants in its production) ... PROD contested by anon single-purpose account without comment ... pure vanispamcruftisement by editors with conflict of interest who keep removing the  tag without addressing the issues. &mdash; The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 15:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Perhaps worth saving as story is about a major Indian historical figure. Sources seem to be out there. Article needs major rewrite to remove POV, wikification, trimming, and sourcing. Will begin an attempt.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:34, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment According to this edit to Pratap Singh of Mewar by the author, the film is still in post-production, and hasn't even been released yet, making this WP:CRYSTAL. &mdash; The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry... and not to nitpick, but a film that has completed principle filming and is waiting for a release date is not WP:CRYSTAL. That would be if the film was still in the planning/pre-shoot phase.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 17:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: Not even 1 actor, or director is note worthy. Forget the film. Bollywood is the largest film industry in world, realeases hundreds of films. Not every film is noteworthy.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that no one involved with the film is notable, but that criteria cannot be considered as notability is not inherited anyway. I agree that Bollywood releases more films in a month than the U.S. does in a year, but that too cannot be considered as quantity does not reflect quality. I also agree that more films are non-notable than are so, but the film appears to be concerned with a very prominant figure from the early history of India and the Indian people. I'm simply having problems with my search for sources. Added to the points you brought up... there was an Indian film by the same name that was released in 1946 as one of the earliest post-war epics from India... and the articles about this current incarnation have attributed THIS later film by several different versions of the the article's name. These factors, and my inability to read Hindi make source hunting a bit tougher than normal.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Non notable per above. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 16:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I do not myself have the knowledge of Indian history or military history to trim this article and keep proper conent. And I do not have the time... but and apparently neither does anyone from Project india or Project military. Certainly the historical aspects of this film are notable, seeing as it deals with a pivotal moment in early Indian history and the military tactics of a singularly unique leader... but as for the film itself.... I do not know. No need to have it cluttering up important space on Wiki until someone gets around to sourcing it.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
