Midida Hrudayagalu[edit]

Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NF. Sources fail WP:RS. Article has been tagged for improvement for six months w/o result. PROD was removed with the explanation that web sources are difficult to come by for certain pre-2000 films. However RS sources of some kind are required.WP:OR is inadmissible for establishing notability. It is possible that adequate sources may exist in another language. I will happily reconsider the nom if/when verifiable evidence of notability is presented. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:02, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While there is no deadline, I'd hate to see something tossed due to WP:NEGLECT or because the film or language is not well represented online... so I've left a note asking for assistance in sourcing over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Karnataka.

Excellent idea. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:41, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep! The source cited Kannada Movies Info is well known, reliable, online database for all Kannada movies. In Kannada world, it is almost equivalent to IMDB. People go there to get information about the movies and comment on them and add trivia etc. It may not be well known to Non Kannada people but well known in regional sphere. In fact, all the articles about kannada films that cite this regional database should not get nominated for deletion. Lokesh 2000 (talk) 09:59, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. None of these sources provide the in depth coverage from RS sources called for by the guidelines. They do little more than note the film's existence and regurgitate the basic information normally found in the credits. Just because something exists does not mean it's entitled to an article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:25, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I found two local sources. First one a main stream news paper (Kannadaprabha) article about a song in this film and another an online tabloid listing this film as Shruti's successful film. Please check the Article.Those who can read Kannada can verify the citations. I think now we can remove this article from deletion queue. Thanks!

Sorry, the discussion is still going to have to wait seven days. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep though I am unable to read Kannada, I assume good faith that this Kannada editor is correct. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
