Does not meet any of the criteria within WP:NFILM and fails WP:GNG. Searches of "Его звали Робсон" and "His name was Robeson" yield no coverage in independent sources. The Russian Wikipedia article was deleted today because there was no evidence of notability. I would oppose a merge to Paul Robeson or Paul Robeson Jr. or Itzik Feffer as the film isn't notable enough even for that. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge FWIW, it has a short mention in Paul_Robeson#Film_biographies_and_documentaries, which I think this could be partly merged into Shushugah (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In my view, there should be at least one reliable source on the film before performing a merge. The YouTube video itself isn't enough. I can see that the user has tried adding it to Robeson's article twice already and it's been correctly reverted. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I would agree with the merge if Spiderone's condition could be met, but I can't find any reliable sourcing for this documentary. Ping me if reliable sourcing is found to merge. Definitely not notable enough to pass WP:GNG, and definitely doesn't meet WP:NFILM. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - with no coverage in independent sources there's definitely not enough here for a standalone article, and I think the brief mention already extant in Paul Robeson is all it really warrants. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 10:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
