*Delete This film may exist but I was unable to find any coverage in independent, reliable sources in English. Perhaps coverage exists in Chinese, or in Japanese, since it was screened at a film festival in Japan. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:32, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep because of the sources that Cunard found. Thanks. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:54, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Found nothing in English, Chinese, or Japanese. Jumpytoo Talk 06:41, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cunard's found sources. In terms of The Long Night vs I Am Here, having The Long Night redirecting to I Am Here is probably the better move. Jumpytoo Talk 19:53, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment: There was coverage of the then-unusual sight of city streets under lockdown in Lan Bo's February 2020 short film "Wuhan: The Long Night", with the expressed intention to develop a longer documentary, but one film festival showing may be just WP:TOOSOON.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.Sources about the 2021 documentary film Wuhan, I Am Here:  According to https://twitter.com/nobodymag, "Film critic magazine. Since 2001." The article notes from Google Translate: ""Wuhan, I'm here" (Lan Bo) is a movie that reminds us that smartphones have become a tool to point to the current location of "now" and "here" and have changed the way documentaries are, and in that sense, it is timely. I thought it was a good creation that caught. In early 2020, he entered Wuhan to shoot his first director's feature film, and soon after he encountered a city blockade by COVID-19. As uninfected sick people are forced to leave the hospital one after another due to lockdown and hospital recruitment, the directors manage to find a new hospital. In the first place, the purpose of the directors working with the general public was to complete a new feature film by filming all the processes taking place in Wuhan. Some of them were conscious as producers, but they gradually took on the appearance of joint struggle with the citizens." <li> From Google Translate: ""Wuhan, I'm here" (Director Rambo), which will be screened as a special invitation film that symbolizes the last two years, will be released for the first time in the world. A crew member in Wuhan, China, who was in Wuhan, China, encountered the world's first lockdown (city blockage) due to the new coronavirus in January last year to shoot a feature film. I went out on the street and turned the camera to record the facts that happened in front of me. People waiting in front of the hospital, volunteers working to distribute supplies free of charge. Frustration, impatience that I want to help but can't help. It is said that the rapidly changing situation and the citizens who are confused by being tossed about are projected."</li> </ol> </li> <li>Sources about the 2020 short film Wuhan: The Long Night, the predecessor of the documentary film Wuhan, I Am Here:<ol> <li> The article notes: "With a forced break in production, the crew turned their cameras to the streets of Wuhan to document the effect of the coronavirus on the city. The result is a chilling montage film in which a city of 14 million people appears all but abandoned (click here to watch the video)."</li> <li> The article notes: "Lan told Sixth Tone that he and his team had to postpone their scheduled film project because of the epidemic. That’s when videographer Xie Dan started filming on his phone: The team put together a short film titled “Wuhan: The Long Night” and shared it online. The haunting images of Wuhan attracted millions of views on microblogging platform Weibo, and the video’s popularity spurred Lan to expand it into a feature-length documentary."</li> <li> The article notes: "Set to a pensive score, the four-and-a half-minute short paints a grim and eerie portrait of a ghost town (which happens to be the docu’s Chinese title). The sight of the nearly abandoned streets and roads evokes memories of 28 Days Later (or Vanilla Sky). One surreal moment has a man singing out of his window onto a deserted street. That’s a guy with a story to share."</li> <li> The article discusses the history and production of the documentary.</li> <li> The article notes: "Created by filmmaker Lan Bo, Wuhan: The Long Night offers a glimpse into what life is currently like for those living in Wuhan, exposing the magnitude of what’s happening there. ... Following the success of Wuhan: The Long Night – the video quickly went viral on Chinese platform Weibo – Lan plans to make a feature-length documentary about Wuhan in lockdown, centring on those still living in the city."</li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol></li></ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Wuhan, I Am Here and Wuhan: The Long Night to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Wuhan, I Am Here is a documentary film. Its predecessor, Wuhan: The Long Night, is a short film. There is more coverage about Wuhan: The Long Night so if editors believe there is insufficient coverage of Wuhan, I Am Here, renaming and refocusing to Wuhan: The Long Night is a possibility. I think that is not necessary though as Wuhan, I Am Here passes Notability. Cunard (talk) 10:23, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

 * If this was nominated by a sock, shouldn't this AfD be procedural closed? – The Grid  ( talk )  17:37, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by Cunard that passes WP:GNG. VocalIndia (talk) 17:48, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly passes GNG as per above. No plausible chance of any other outcome at this stage now anyway Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:24, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
