Fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Nothing notable on a WP:BEFORE. PROD was removed because there is a mentioning of the movie in the singer's obituary. The singer performed one or more songs in this movie. I am not sure (yet again, see my previous nomination) how is that supporting the notability of the movie. Thank you, Kolma8 (talk) 12:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NFILM. A mere mention in an obituary is not enough to establish notability. Donaldd23 (talk) 12:28, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This is an old film and its hard to find sources. So mere sources must be used for verifying that the movie is notable Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 06:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: What do we do about this movie failing WP:NFILM and WP:GNG? What WP criteria do you use to support your vote? Kolma8 (talk) 19:54, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

'Reply to Kolma8 (talk · contribs): I already left you a message in your talk page two times regarding this question you asked and you havent replied to me that yet. Please kindly ping me if you have anything to ask me here, or else I wont get notified. I already said that if we have any mere source to establish notability (for old movies only), it must be considered. You are simply nominating most of the old movies' article for PROD even if some sources of any kind have been provided. Thats not the way to do it. I also have a concern that you are not following proper WP:Before in most of the cases. Malayalam sources are present for most of these movies. I already rescued 3 articles about malayalam movies that you nominated for AFD. Regarding this case (the source is from The Hindu), I will say weak keep. I only got one source and it says It was for the 1990 film Anantha Vruthantham that he sang. Regards. Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 07:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Kashmorwiki (talk · contribs) I am really trying to understand how the phrase "It was for the 1990 film Anantha Vruthantham that he sang" in the provided source can support any criteria in WP:NFILM and WP:GNG, but I am afraid I can't. I do agree that all sources should be considered, but as another side of the same coin, not all sources can be accepted. But thank you for your vote.
