The Cancer Period

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFILM. Coverage in reliable sources not found. This article was recreated after an expired prod, but no new sources have been added since then. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:00, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Request for clarification: Considering that all sources are in Farsi and that, I do not know how the coverage in the currently included 11 sources was evaluated, let alone asserted to be unreliable. But please walk us through each and every source; Assess table can be used for this purpose. Sam Sailor 09:24, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: Would nom either please respond or withdraw? Sam Sailor 19:15, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * To determine reliability, I can use Google translate. For example, translating shows that it is an interview. But this AfD will likely be closed as no consensus anyway. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment:I am a Persian language user on Wikipedia. The resources available in Imdb and the Persian Wikisedia and the resources found in the article indicate that this article is in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and should not be deleted.Sheydai (talk) 10:53, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I'm in a quandry here.  On the one hand, I would like to put my faith in the opinions of our two Persian translators, who believe this meets WP:N.  On the other hand, their comments lead me to believe they do not understand how WP:N works.  For example, we don't use IMDB or other language wikis as sources to establish notability.  I looked at three sources myself.  I'm at a serious disadvantage here because I had to rely on the automatic translations, and you lose a lot doing that.  However,  is an announcement that the film will be released at some point in the future.   looks like a routine listing that doesn't go into any details.   similarly seems like a very shallow treatment.  There may be better stuff in the other sources that I didn't look at, and I may simply not be getting enough out of the translations to adequately evaluate the sources I did look at, but from what I can see, we don't have enough here.  -- RoySmith (talk) 01:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
