The Samurai (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It appears this is not a real film. It is not proper policy to make redirects of articles of any deficiency, including fake articles. It may be argued that SPEEDY would have been more appropriate, but I find that procedure peremptory and highhanded. There is no news of this film, and only a German film on IMdB. Considering the purported contributors, there should be scores of hits at the very least. A comprehensive but less substantial argument, as it is an ad hominem, is that the major contributors are an IP, a blocked user and a blocked IP. Anarchangel (talk) 04:46, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
