Tofael: The Tea Stall Boy
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Most of the sources are minor festival listings, which are primary sources, not independent, and trivial coverage. Among the Bengali-language sources, newsviewsbd.com and MediaTimes24 are obscure sites with no reputation for accuracy or fact checking, but The Daily Ittefaq, Bangla Mail 24, and dhallywood24.com are reliable. Dariya News is probably reliable. Searches of the usual types found additional fleeting mentions, but nothing that would improve the article.

This two-minute student film by a non-notable director clearly doesn't meet WP:NFILM. There's a small cluster of coverage following the Free Spirit Film Festival audience award (11 of the 19 films screened won at least one award), and one piece the next year announcing that it would be at the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival. Are these brief (even by Bengali standards) articles independent of the subject (not regurgitated press releases) and significant coverage, such that it meets WP:GNG? My evaluation is no, but I'm open to discussion. Worldbruce (talk) 07:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
