Russian Holiday

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

Doesn't meet WP:NFILM, couldn't find any independent and reliable sources covering this film. I tried searching both for "Russian Holiday" and "Russian Roulette" (used on the cover if you go to external link in the article).

 * Comment, Ranker listed it as #25 on the top 40 Barry Bostwick movie and tv shows.  Donald D23   talk to me  18:48, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Donaldd23: I wouldn't consider this source reliable, I clicked on the "Russian Holiday" in the list and then saw Russian Holiday is a 1992 film directed by Greydon Clark. It stars Jeff Altman and Victoria Barrett. ...more on Wikipedia  Delta  space 42 (talk • contribs) 19:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: Barry Bostwick is well known, but this film seems to have sunk almost without trace. Even IMDb is struggling to find much to say about it. It's definitely a real film, you can watch it on Amazon..-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 20:06, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: The year is sometimes given as 1993 or even 1994; two titles, both highly generic, exist. Added sources for verification and some about production/reception that in my view attest some notability. Maltin has an entry but I could not read what he wrote about the film so I didn't add it. If someone has the book, please add it!- My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank)  06:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The 1995 electronic edition of Maltin says American teacher Blakely, on vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia, inadvertently becomes involved in a scheme to pilfer a priceless antiquity. One-note thriller is barely entertaining, despite its use of authentic locations. Adam Sampson (talk) 01:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot@Adam Sampson, I'll add it to the page then. Best, - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  13:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep: between the L.A. Times review and the German TV Today, we have reviews by two nationally known critics as required by WP:NFOE, if only marginally so. Owen&times; &#9742;  23:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: It is quite a struggle to find significant coverage of this film. Wikipedia is not IMDb and cannot guarantee standalone articles about every film ever made.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 13:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
