 * Delete. I'm pretty aggressive about giving the benefit of the doubt to African film articles because so many of the key resources remain print media that aren't available, much less searchable, online. This... isn't one of those, though. This is an American documentary about a Liberian amputee football team. It has received very little attention. As noted in the article, it received a screening by the UN Creative Community Outreach Initiative, but I see no reason that would confer notability (for one, that's basically a core part of the CCOI's role). It was screened at the 2013 PUFF Film Festival Hong Kong, but received no awards (not that I'm at all certain that festival grants awards), and the festival in question isn't a "major" film festival in any sense. And, finally, it was shown as part of a documentary screening in New York and mentioned in the Summer 2004 issue of local publication NewFilmmakers New York, but that mention is just a capsule listing without commentary, and I'm deeply dubious whether the publication in question is a reliable source besides. None of this establishes notability, and in this case I don't think there's any reason to expect Liberian sources would do otherwise. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
