This is yet another film article that fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.

The general notability guideline states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

Then more specific:

The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.

The film is historically notable, as evidenced by one or more of the following:

Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release.

The film was deemed notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals, when such a poll was conducted at least five years after the film's release.

The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.

The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema.

The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.

The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.

The film is "taught" as a subject at an accredited university or college with a notable film program.

Fails all of the above.

Now let's look at the references: All three references are the database entries.

What about WP:BEFORE? and a link to the film guideline is sufficient, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Possible ATD to List of Malayalam films of 1977. Fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE did not produce anything significant. Letterboxd.com shows a review but is a venue for individuals "...to share film reviews and lists with friends." Links to database information like malayalachalachithram.com, IMDb, TMDb, or spicyonion.com does not advance notability but just fulfills a need or want to "indiscriminately" and individually list of all movies and films ever made or included in the titles "List of Malayalam films of (year)". -- Otr500 (talk) 12:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
