The result was Keep. There is a consensus below that this is an important, formative project of a notable director and should receive coverage on Wikipedia. Eluchil404 (talk) 05:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Donno how to handle this. I cannot find a single English source for this, it has no sources now, it seems like it might be notable, but I have no way of really knowing. Björk apparently had a minor role in it, before she hit big, but I can't even verify that. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:53, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not trivial to find reliable sources, I agree. However, it is fairly clear that the film exists (besides IMDB, other sources mention that Björk was involved, e.g. this Icelandic shopping site: [1]). Basic info also here. As Þráinn Bertelsson, the director, is reasonably notable, I'd say this is a keep. Merging with the director's article is probably not so good, as he is notable also for crime novels and as a politician. Anyway, when in doubt, do not delete. —Кузьма^討論 22:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep It's mentioned over and over again in articles about the director, but I did not find much in-depth coverage. I added 2 refs. It's possible that there may be material in newspaper archives, but 1983 is a bit far back for it to be indexed; however, it does get mentioned a lot, so I incline towards keeping it. IMO what would be best would be to combine it with the 2 other films about Þór and Danni in a single article. One of the reasons the title comes up so much is it was the first of a popular series. The other is that he founded a production company the year before with the the same name, but I only looked at material about the film. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
