Sourced only to the (archived) official website since 2006 until I added a non-WP:RS link to IMDb yesterday. A WP:BEFORE search for both of the English titles (Crab Goalkeeper and Kani Goalkeeper} and the Japanese title (かにゴールキーパー} turned up a remarkable number of listings sites, but nothing indepth about the film. The corresponding Japanese article ja:かにゴールキーパー did not help. The best I found was this (via Google Translate), which gives a more detailed version of the plot. Notability is not WP:INHERITED from the director, Minoru Kawasaki. This film was mentioned, apparently in passing, in Japanorama#Series 2. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM.

• Comment by nom. Is 13 WP:AECs while trying to post at AFD a record? I've just wasted 15 minutes trying to get this report to stick. ProTip: get your bogles clenched, and make a multiple report in one go. Narky Blert (talk) 21:25, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no evidence that this film ever received significant coverage, no evidence or even a claim of passing any criteria within WP:NFILM. A passing mention in a documentary isn't enough. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Send to Draft status. I added a reference source to the article and reworded to avoid existing plagiarism issue. I'd support seeing this article moved to Draft status to let editors have another stab at it.--Greysonsarch (talk) 14:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify as there is some minor coverage such as the first two links here, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. ja:かにゴールキーパー has no ref links. Searching in Japanese only brings up IMDB like databases or blogs. I tried, but couldn't find any secondary sources to add to the article in Japanese.Craft777 (talk) 05:14, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
