The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Partial Consensus that there is sufficient notability for articles to be retained and overwhelming consensus that a mass nomination was unsuitable and that individual nominations are required for articles lacking suitable sourcing - after a more in-depth BEFORE sweep.

Please note I am also nominating the following articles with this one because they are all non-notable films released in the same country and the articles are authored by the same user:

As with the Ghanian film articles created by this user (for which a separate AfD is open), these films fail WP:NFILM. Some, such as A Hotel Called Memory, have won awards, but all of these awards are minor ones which don't confer notability per WP:NFILM. None of them appear to have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to pass GNG either. SITH (talk) 17:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close, and keep at least A Hotel Called Memory. Regarding the first point, there's no realistic reason to believe that a set of Nigerian films are all going to have the same level of coverage or notability needed to avoid making this a trainwreck of a bundled nomination. And, indeed, I'm fairly certain that at least one of these films easily meets the inclusion threshold. Two of the sources currently cited are articles in The Guardian – not that one, but this one, which is still unquestionably a reliable source. Additional sources are not hard to find. Some of these other listed films have, shall we say, less easily searchable titles, but at a minimum, there's no reason to consider them in a bundled nomination with inadequate prior source surveys.

Keep as per Squeamish Ossifrage. This same editor nominated the late Ghanaian actor Kwame Owusu-Ansah which I found sources and edited. Terrible nominations! A procedural close and keep is in order until editors have time to go through each individual article and check sources for them to determine notability. Wiki is not going anywhere. The nominator has been told to do WP:BEFORE nominating. I am very concerned about their nominations. Keep and close.Tamsier (talk) 13:50, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all as reliable sources coverage has been identified in the comments above such as significant secondary coverage in national newspapers such as The Guardian (Nigeria). It is also poor practice to bunch nominate films that only have the country of origin as a similarity, these should have been nominated seperately, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:08, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
