The Ode

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no significant coverage in reliable sources and no evidence of satisfying WP:NFILM. PROD contested by the author, but nothing to show evidence of notability. GSS (talk |c|em ) 07:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I can't find CineQueer or Planet Homo. I wanted to see how deep these mentions were, and to see what sort of publication (e.g. blog or magazine (etc.) with editorial oversight) they are, but didn't find them. Are there links? I note that the film is mentioned as one among many Indian films that address homosexuality, which I consider an important topic, but specific articles about the film itself seem lacking. Where has the author of the article contested the prod? Ross-c (talk) 08:01, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Asia Pacific Arts and DNA sources cited in the article are enough to satisfy WP:GNG: they're reliable sources, independent of the subject, and contain significant coverage of the film. I also wasn't able to find the source of the CineQueer quote, but the Planet Homo reference was to this blog post, an obviously unreliable source, so I've removed that part of the sentence. – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 23:33, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The film was featured in a few gay-oriented film festivals and included as part of Indian gay film tradition. Also an adaptation of a famous book Ode to Lata, similarly notable on its own. werldwayd (talk) 04:58, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as has coverage in reliable sources described above. Perhaps there could be information added about the book it is based on as that would help it's notability, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
