Tagged this with a notability tag four months ago, but I believe it is time for a discussion about this film. My main beef about this article is that I could not find enough reliable coverage for the film. The sources in the article appear to be nothing more than forum posts. I do sincerely hope that there's more coverage in Arabic, because otherwise I don't see this film being notable enough for an article. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now per Star Times Maktoob 6R63H Filfan and whatever other Egyptian language sources exist. We have a duty per WP:CSB to encourage and enlist assistance from Wikipedians abe to read and translate Egyptian-language sources, and not toss an article based upon our inability to read sources in their original tongue. And hey... just what is the Arabic title anyway? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:38, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the startimes parts are the forum posts, which are generally not notable. I'm not even sure what the Arabic title is, but hopefully there will at least be some reliable sources if we knew what was the Arabic title. Sadly, I'm not seeing any actual reliable Arabic sources yet. Yes I know that we should counter systematic bias (I am against systematic bias myself), but if no reliable sources can be found, online or offline, then with or without systematic bias the film still isn't notable.

Delete per nom and a failure of notability guidelines, unless reliable sources can be found (those posted are forums and thus not reliable). Till 08:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! The Arabic film title "مهمة صعبة" translates as "A Difficult Mission" or "A Difficult Task". And while searches for such a common Arabic phrase is itself "A Difficult Mission", it IS do-able. The following news articles in Al-Ittihad and Al-Riyadh discuss the film in detail:
[1] "A difficult task," a controversial film deals with the corruption of power and money

[2] A difficult task: failed to convince the viewer, despite the quality of scenario

[3]A difficult task for Ola Ghanem at the fest.

These are not blogs or forums and actually comprise some in-depth coverage of this 2007 Egyptian film. Help is requested in digging for more. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:42, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing. Thanks MichaelQSchmidt. It appears that there are good enough Arabic sources that will prove useful in writing an article. As such, I am withdrawing this nomination, and I am encouraging other editors to improve the article, as well as those of other Egyptian films. Good job!
