The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The comments from this and last month's AfD form a pretty much unanimous consensus that the subject isn't notable and the possibility of source misrepresentation. —SpacemanSpiff 04:12, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Himachali Cinema[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article purports to be about "Himollywood" -- the regional cinema of Himachal Pradesh -- but there is insufficient evidence that such a regional cinema industry yet exists. A film or two shot in the region does not argue for the existence of a new film industry. (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Himollywood. This article might well qualify under WP:CSD#G4 but I don't have access to the deleted Himollywood article to know, but given the recentness of the prior deletion, it's unlikely that any new notability information has since come forth.)

There is no term as Himollywood coined in Himachal until now. Yes there are a few regional films being made but the article calls it an idustry for 'Kangri' films, whereas there are more than 30 local languages and dialects spoken in Himachal Pradesh state and 'Pahari' much like Kashmiri/Ladakhi is the language most spoken not Kangri. The article presents Incorrect Facts and Wrong Information about the Local Film Industry in Himachal and has no valid references to support its stance either. The page is definitely self promotional in its motives with only 2 production houses originally listed by the author, whereas there are many others in Himachal Pradesh, much better than the ones listed on the page, take Secret Corridor Pictures for example, which have made worthwhile films which have been screened at several film festivals and won awards too. The approach to writing is NOT Neutral and is not serving the purpose of enhancing the pool of knowledge of Himachal Cinema Culture or correctly updating on latest trends either. - Tenzin24 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tenzin24 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
