Added a source giving some context and plot. ~~Maybe redirect to Sompote Sands#Filmography?~~ (I did not search very hard, neither in English nor Thaï or Japanese~~, so if this is judged notable and can be improved, not opposed to keep)~~.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC) In light of the sources commented by Paul 012 below, Keep. Thanks.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 14:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The article itself doesn't properly explain the importance/notability of the subject and is very poorly sourced—beyond the lack of credible, appropriate sources. Anwegmann (talk) 02:16, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article is misnamed as the result of an undiscussed move in 2023. It should be renamed back to the common English name, Hanuman and the Five Riders. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Has some English-language book coverage.[1][2] Several reviews, mostly personal blogs,[3][4][5][6] but there's also an entry in The World Wide Celluloid Massacre (thelastexit.net), which appears to be quite an established website.[7] Thai coverage exists, but much less than that for its predecessor The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army. Several paragraphs on its production in this master's thesis.[8] Was discussed in a 2021 conference talk hosted by the Thai Film Archive, though no full proceedings were published.[9] Recently appears in the news mostly as brief mentions in discussions of Sompote Sands's filmography following his death in 2021.[10] Such a level of coverage isn't itself a clear indication of notability, but for a film released almost 50 years ago, it hints at a lasting significance. For a project of this size, it must have received a significant amount of contemporary coverage that is no longer accessible online. If not kept, redirect to Sompote Sands. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those are some good finds. Neocorelight (Talk) 07:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think the Spinegrinder book mentioned above is decent coverage. I've also found a few sentences about the legal issues on Sci-Fi Japan, as well as Thai-language reviews on Postjung (translated) and Pescinema (translated). I think there's enough to suggest notability. Toughpigs (talk) 17:07, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in view of the multiple reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
