The only source found in WP:Before is from Bollywood Hungama (unreliable). [1] TamilMirchi (talk) 03:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Hello user, I believe Malaysian Tamil language films article are very notable, as all of them are released nationwide in Malaysia, there are sources, our local media have reportings about these films. It is not like student film, it is REAL theatrical films, no reason for not being notable. I feel terribly sad that you want to nominate the deletion of all these articles, most contributed by me. I believe all these can stay. And, the article is well-written and well-cited, plus with good formatting. I WILL ADD MORE RELIABLE SOURCES. You could just add reference tag. Please reconsider and unnominate the deletion, thank you so much ;) User:LoveFromBJM (User talk:LoveFromBJM 04:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I really do not understand your intentions of deleting the articles. You must have known these films is very significant in my countries. Although those cited websites are not news website, they are still media website that reports, making these films notable. Meanwhile, these articles are shorter, BUT you may realized that they are really written properly.

Delete- No coverage by reliable sources whatsoever. Cinema.com. is purely database which indicates the film probably exists (reliability is questionable) but does not confer notability to pass WP:NFILM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunshine1191 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TamilMirchi (talk · contribs), Sunshine1191 (talk · contribs) Latest Please read the latest version, I removed Cinema.com.my reference, I have added Jothi Media, Selliyal, Anegun (Tamil) are the local reliable news websites that brings reliable information. // Added IMDB title, remove other external links --User:LoveFromBJM (User talk:LoveFromBJM)

Delete None of the citations are reviews of the film, just film databases, articles on the actors, or announcements that the film was released or was shown at a festival. None establish notability and nothing else was found during a search. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- Even the latest revision is far from establishing notability. Where is the in-depth coverage? For a minute even forget in-depth, where are the basic reviews? Sunshine1191 (talk) 11:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM, which are the agreed guidelines for films Spiderone 15:49, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For rising films like Malaysian Tamil films, we need more time to have reviews and critics. Therefore, instead of nominate deletion, we should add tags for more citation and references. The article has expanded enough for notability in a general view. Thanks. KesunyianAyam (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is built on the pillars of verifiability and notability. The first is barely satisfied here as it is and the second is definitely not. Movies are generally reviewed by critics during their theatrical run and definitely within a month of premiere. So it is highly implausible that reliable reviews will turn up more than a year after release. Wiki is an encyclopaedia for notable films, not a film database. IMDB does an excellent job at that.

IMDb doea a lousy job, that's why it is an unreliable source full of errors and fake information, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:28, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I said that IMDB does an excellent job at maintaining a record of films, which it does. The database covers films of a variety of languages and countries including these films currently listed at Afd. Never said that the records were a hundred percent factual or completely reliable.

Delete: The film may or may not be notable a few years down the line. Either ways, Wikipedia is NOT a crystal ball. The only fact here is that currently the article fails WP:NFILM. TheRedDomitor (talk) 10:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
