Scientist Movie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable movie article by user intent on publicizing his studio. No reliable sources. —teb728 t c 08:45, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. While I will openly and freely state that I neither read nor speak Bengali, a search for "বিজ্ঞানি" did not bring up any hits that looked substantial. Many of the links I clicked on (which were translated through Google Translate) used the term to refer to a scientist in general and did not reference this movie. Despite the film's claims that it was a huge success, there's nothing out there to substantiate this. A search in English did not bring up anything promising either and to be honest, the lack of English language sourcing/coverage is particularly telling. Even if a Bengali movie never hits English shores, wildly successful films will usually have some mention in English somewhere, even if it's just one of the various English language blogs or database "anyone can review" sites that covers Indian cinema. If anyone can find sources in Bengali or other sources that would pass notability guidelines I'm willing to change my opinion, but I don't really think that they exist at this point in time and the claims are so large that they almost, almost fall into hoax territory. In full disclosure, I just blocked the article creator for having a COI username. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   13:35, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm going to give this the benefit of the doubt that this was a local indie film and the claims were wildly exaggerated. I'm just a little leery about the claims, given that the page for Doialwood states that the district is the "home of the entertainment industry, including several of its historic studios" despite there being no record of a district by this name- which is suspect considering that something of this nature would be covered somewhere. I'm sort of leaning towards this being a hoax, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   13:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete If not an actual hoax, this is (at kindest) TOO SOON and lacks available sources to meet WP:NF. Alleged director name appears found only in social media, and in no manner connected to a 2014 film titled Scientist. Link to "star" Farzana leads only to a disambig page and not to a Bengali actress.  At this time we have a lack of WP:V.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 07:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
