The Textbooks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable documentary. I couldn't find anything in a WP:BEFORE search to establish notability. It was previously AfD'd several years ago in a mass inclusion of other Iranian films and was kept. However, taken on it's own I fail to see how it would pass again. Donaldd23 (talk) 02:16, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: This needs someone who can search in Persian for sourcing. On a side note, the director's article needs a lot of work and pruning. For example, there's a section on various film festivals his films have screened at, something Wikipedia typically sees as non-notable or relatively indiscriminate data as far as the site goes.

 * You may also want to look at the other films - there seems to be a problem with notability at first glance, as many of the sources seem to be links to various film festivals and awards at small film festivals, rather than stuff like reviews and coverage. Some film festival awards are notable, but those are extremely few and far between. I'm kind of wondering if this is a walled garden. --ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
