Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Awards won don't appear to be notable. Among the cited sources, [1] looks like significant coverage at a glance, but on a closer look it was written before the film's release and virtually all information about the film is provided in quotes from people involved with the film. [2] does not appear to be a reliable source, and some of the content draws its independence into question. The other sources provided are primary sources from film festivals. I was unable to find anything more when searching online; I also tried searching for it in Bengali but I could have missed something due to a lack of proficiency. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Edited the article to delete the segment about the awards won, as pointed out by reviewer Rosguill. Edited the article and added 12 sources supporting the title through the involvement of the lead character (Ritwik Bhowmik) and another primary character (Senjuti Mukherjee). The following are the used sources. ^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}. Title can be found as 'Gray' (literal translation) in the reference [10] as the source is in Bengali language. Edited the article to also link the lead, Ritwik Bhowmik's name to his Wkipedia page. Storiesbysoumi (talk) 11:11, 28 September 2020 (UTC)Storiesbysoumi[reply]

  The above sources are, without exception, trivial coverage. Name dropping the film in the context of an actor's filmography (and largely just one actor, Ritwik Bhomik) is not the kind of coverage we need to justify the creation of an article. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:02, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Understood. Is there another alternative to deletion that you could advice for this article? Particularly due to the fact that the film, being a low budget independant film which is still doing rounds at various international film festivals, will ultimately be distributed and have the needful coverage as per your policies and criteria.

  Honestly not at this time. There's draft space, but articles are sent there when we anticipate that the article could be fixed by active editing in short order, not to sit and wait for sources. That having been said, if the article is deleted and sources establishing notability become available at a later date, you can always make a WP:Request for undeletion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - concerns around WP:GNG and WP:NFILM; my main concern is that there are no reviews and a complete lack of coverage after the film was released. [3] [4] These two sources are fairly good for coverage but were written way before the film's release. It seems odd that no more recent sources exist. Spiderone 08:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - some of the arguments here struck me as a bit odd. Definitely notable, well sourced, even if it didn't have a wide release or wide coverage. Shahid • ^Talk2me 10:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
