Zama Arman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NFILM with no in-depth secondary sources, reviews or awards. Sources are all dead blogs or YouTube videos, with the exception of two samaa.tv links which appear to say in their entirety that "It is for the first time in the history of Pashto films that a new movie Zama Arman is being presented in high definition at Eidul Fitr."

 * Comment: as I declined the speedy deletion of this article, I'm now WP:INVOLVED. I point out that the article asserts that director of this 2013 movie is Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, who died 1951.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:17, 23 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: Comprehensively fails WP:FILM. And the only seemingly notable actor (Jahangir Khan Jani) does not have this film listed on his IMDb page. Is someone trying to big up their little home movie here by attaching some recognisable names to it? edit: the originator of the article, User:Nadiagul2424, added [|//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jahangir_Khan_Jani&type=revision&diff=742890437&oldid=742396100] this title to Khan Jani's Wikipedia page on 6 October. I checked out the title on YouTube: it appears several times under slightly different descriptions (all of which mention Khan) and all by "Pashto Drama's" - who is ID'd in the comments as Nadia gul. The one I checked out was ″Jahangir Khan New Pashto Drama 2016 Zama Arman Full Drama″ (note the year discrepancy). It contains several scenes of a singing duo which appear to be of unrelated footage edited in: the type of film used, the fashions, the style of direction, the actors appearing only in these scenes etc. The male performer looks to be Khan. "Pashto Drama's" You Tube contributions appear to be more of the same: several more films allegedly starring Khan. And only one very brief bit of "Zama Arman" looks like it may have been an attempt to shoot in HD but was so distorted it seems the effort was abandoned.

 * Yes, this was created by a sock of User:Nouman khan sherani, who has a history of creating articles about minor films starring Arbaaz Khan and/or Jahangir Khan Jani. The latter actor is probably worth an AfD at this point, I'll take a look at that now. --McGeddon (talk) 12:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * My further info edit was a conflict with your comment (well-spotted the sock), I decided to add it anyway. For our girl movie reporter "Nadia gul" - the thumbnail pic for her "Pashto Drama's" YouTube channel shows a conveniently generic pretty face, and the few comments are obviously either from socks or suckers. As for Khan: his page here is crap and my first reaction was "AfD this" - but a (very brief) glance at his google and IMDb makes me think he may indeed have some claim to notability. That article needs sorting out anyway. Plutonium27 (talk) 12:45, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Worth commenting at Articles for deletion/Jahangir Khan Jani (2nd nomination) if you've found anything. I can't see that he even has an IMDb page, though. --McGeddon (talk) 12:53, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
