Superstar (2015 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The movie doesn’t seem to satisfy any criterion from WP:NFOE as an alternative for movies who don’t meet NFOE, WP:GNG is used to judge a movies notability, following that the movie also does not have sufficient coverage in reliable sources to warrant a standalone. This source is great but is not sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: This could really use a going over by someone who can access more Nigeria sources, as I believe that American search engines like Google don't properly crawl websites from this country, akin to how it doesn't for India. I'm finding evidence that the film is likely notable since it's been described as a popular film in places like this, which calls it an "international blockbuster". I'm just not sure if it's all puffery or if there's some truth to it. It does seem to have received quite a bit of attention prior to its release via the announcement of performers and whatnot, plus it starred some notable people. I'm not saying it's inheriting notability, just that I'd be surprised if there wasn't more coverage than what Google is bringing up for me.

 * Comment — @, honestly their just isn’t sources discussing it asides the one I mentioned in my rationale. I’ve lived in Nigeria 20+ years & can tell notable from non notable. Furthermore, we have a host of Nigerian movies, examples are; Sugar Rush (2019 film), King of Boys, Omugwo, Bling Lagosians, I literally can mention over a 100 Nigerian movies(not a hyperbole) that are notable & satisfy WP:NFILM & WP:GNG, this particular one unfortunately isn’t one of them. I did a deep web search & still couldn’t come with anything tangible. You might have noticed this source right? That’s another source I found but it was in PulseNG a Source which has been deprecated.

 * Where has Pulse NG been deprecated, it wasn't at the reliable sources noticeboard ? and it has been used by many editors including yourself Atlantic306 (talk) 23:31, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , I doubt you have any experience with Nigerian reliable sources & justifiably so, I mean, you haven’t lived in Nigeria for 20+ years. You are correct I optimized the source in the past long before it was proven to be an unreliable one, how? You may ask, the reason is more often than not they do not explicitly state which is a sponsored post & which isn’t. Celestina007 (talk) 02:55, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment-@, Well its true that SuperStar didn't get as much notice, I live in Tanzania and the reason why I did create the article, its because the movie was and is listed as WikiProjects AfroCine Wikipedia .Articles that need to created or Improved.Maybe to could be added as a stub for sometime for improvements if there's someone else from Nigeria who could help with more reable sources. Because most sources are available are not notable or for this matter cannot be considered as  reliable sources by the Wikipedia  resources.
 * Hi - sorry about that, I thought you were in the states like I am! If you've searched and couldn't find sources, then there has to be nothing else out there. It's a delete on my end then. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:08, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   17:08, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per the abundantly clear unbiased rationale of the Nom. The comments from this editor, clearly close enough to the subject geographically to offer that the search results performed would be less biased than any searches initiated from the United States, which did not produce reliable sources on my end. I believe, with confidence, that a nomination resulted after a "Before" (specifically according to D- 1 and 2), was performed with negative results. Otr500 (talk) 21:25, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
