this article fails to establish notability for films. article fails WP:GNG & WP:NF. sources on the page are unreliable. Amsaim (talk) 19:08, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those are the only sources that are available for Apadi(I actually saw the movie and have the DVD at home) and 99% of nollywood movies. That incomplete list that you have in the Nollywood movie section will keep staying that way because majority of Nollywood movies plus this movie I put don't have westernized sources like Hollywood movies are(some don't have any references at all, they just released them after they are made and Nigerians but them). the first article I put is reliable, and it was a article on a interview with Funke Akindele about the movie I mentioned. I know a lot about Nollywood movies and have seen hundreds of movies from Nigeria but as I said most don't have references except critic reviews or interviews of the actors/actresses that are in the movie. One of the other references I mentioned which is called Nollywood forever:http://nollywoodforever.com/a-z-movie-review-index/
has more Nigerian movies that can fit in you less then 20 Nigerian movies you put in the list under Nollywood movies: wow very good since 1990 till 2010. I can't stop you from deleting the movies but those movies are real and what surprises me is that you think you know more then me about most of these movies, especially when nollywood doesn't operate in the westernized world way when it comes to sources or references. Sorry to burst your bubble but you are not going to get BBC or CNN news articles and references on 99% of nollywood movies like Osufia goes to London. My intentions were genuine and I tried to add to that list because frankly that Nollywood film list in wikipedia has been made fun of by many Africans and Nigerians specifically because a lot of movies have been out since the movie IJE, and hasn't been updated. At least I know now that Nollywood forever and African movie sites has more updated information then your site. Good luck in adding to your Nollywood film list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solarlove (talk • contribs) 19:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
