Delete. A search of its Chinese name (惡月) doesn't yield anything either, except database entries. Nothing to suggest it meets WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 03:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Great source analysis by Cunard, more than enough to warrant an article. Yeeno (talk) 🍁 05:17, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
