The Mandrake (1975 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article reads in its entirety:  "The Mandrake (Persian: Mehre giah) is a 1975 black-and-white Iranian film."

No sources, no improvements to the single sentence, and pretty much no info suggests this is not a notable film. Page was created by Neelix in the middle of his effort to create a block of inappropriate redirects to an Italian film that shares the same translated title as this film, which does not inspire me to believe this page was created with normal attention to WP:N See for some of the related redirects.

 * original title:
 * director:

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect for now and allow a recreation. While sad that the improvable stub has sat WP:NEGLECTED for so long, BEFORE shows we have enough at the minimum for a redirect to its filmmaker Fereydun Gole.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 14:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * TNT delete. Such a minimal page is simply too short to be useful, and having this as a redirect avoids one benefit of red links, as noted by WP:REDDEAL: Red links serve the purpose of notifying readers that a need exists in Wikipedia for creation of a new article with at least minimal information content; the creation of minimalist marker stubs simply to get rid of a red link destroys this useful mechanism.  Let's wait until someone's ready to write a good stub before we have an article here.  Of course, if someone feels like expanding this page to a good stub before this AFD ends, my vote should be viewed as "keep".  Nyttend (talk) 04:11, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
