Comment Some coverage does exist, and the film is written up in all sorts of exploitation film blogs, but what I've found so far in reliable sources is all quite brief; I added three sources, all of them very short. The director, Cirio Santiago, was a notable figure in the Phillipines film industry and in the world of exploitation films, which is not to say that every one of his many films (82 directing credits, according to IMDb) is separately notable. According to a directory listing here, this film was reviewed in the June 11, 1986 Variety but I haven't found that review. Anyway, this deserves at least some further looks for sources.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:58, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Add comment: I turned up two positive reviews. (1) I'm not entirely sure about the RS status of the first, Critical Condition magazine, which described its focus as "obscure & bizarre films on video and DVD", but it does seem to have been a published journal at one time; it calls this Santiago's "crowning achievement." (2) HBO's Guide to Movies on Videocassette and Cable TV doesn't seem to be readable online, but a 1991 Philadelphia Inquirer article, commenting on that book's unusual methodology for rating films by viewer polling, notes that Naked Vengeance "sounds trashy, but it has four stars". [1] Based on these, and despite my initial doubts, ~~I'm starting to lean keep here~~. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:52, 3 June 2014 (UTC) (Switching to snow keep, see below. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Keep per non-English coverage. Added to what we have in English, I feel the non-English sources show a meeting of WP:NF. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:39, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Fantastic movie available on YouTube, jump to 36 minutes for the... Climactic bit. It should be noted that the film is mentioned in several works critiquing or discussing rape-revenge-genre movies. Additionally, many reviews of this movie can be found through Google News Archive or Google Books. There is coverage, enough to warrant a keep. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 09:57, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. With the impressive additional sourcing found by MichaelQSchmidt and Bonkers The Clown, notability is clear-cut, and given the nominator's withdrawal I'm dropping the implied uncertainty of my "lean to keep" above. I suggest that we go ahead and close this per WP:SNOW. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
