Spring Awakening (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFILM due to having no sourced claim of notability, as well as only consisting of a lead and a cast listing. Only one source, and WP:BEFORE failed to bring up anything of note (but that may be due to the German military offensive of similar name taking up results).

 * Weak Keep because this (in slide #8) from Deutsche Welle calls the film "The first teenage movie ever?" and says, "Richard Oswald's 1929 film 'Spring Awakening' — based upon the play by Frank Wedekind of the same name — concerns sexuality and puberty among some young German students and is believed to be one of the first teenage movies ever made." There may be more coverage in German-language sources, as it does not seem well-covered in the English-language world. Maybe we can ask German-speaking editors to take a look? At minimum, this should merge/redirect to Spring Awakening (play). Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 16:41, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as it does have a claim of significance as shown above which is from a reliable sources and this is pre-internet so google should not decide whether it is included, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 17:06, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above. It really shouldn't be all that surprising that a silent film from Weimar Germany doesn't have many Google hits. Ejgreen77 (talk) 19:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
