The God of Small Things (film)

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

Non-notable student short film. Article was created by an WP:SPA, who also created a page about the producer, Robert Tutak, which has been deleted twice. The sources include one 220-word capsule review, not by a professional film critic, but by a sub-editor of a lifestyle magazine who "loves telling stories through makeup" (in case you're wondering, she doesn't say anything about the makeup in the film). That's the only independent source.

The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is a notable festival, but the page there is a stock description by the filmmakers. It doesn't show that the film was nominated for or received any award there. bdnews24.com is a primary source interview with the director. The trailer on YouTube and its Facebook page are not independent. The remaining sources are non-notable film festival sites or their partners. WP:MOSFILM advises discretion when mentioning festival awards because of the proliferation of film festivals and "award mills". No better sources found through the usual searches, in English and Bengali. Does not meet WP:NFILM or WP:GNG.

 * Delete. As if SPA status wasn’t enough, the fact that the only independent source is of poor quality means that this article needs to go. WikiJoeB (talk) 16:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
