The result was Draftify. Will add an unnecessary disambiguation given that there is already a draft at the base name. (non-admin closure) 2pou (talk) 06:52, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unreleased film, which does not satisfy film notability or general notability. Has been created in both draft space and article space, so the question is which space it belongs in.

Film notability guidelines are confusing, but there are essentially three classes of films:

1. Films that have been released. Notability of these depends primarily on reception. They are usually notable.
2. Films that have begun production (principal photography or animation) and are reported by a reliable source to have at least begun production, but have not been released. They are only notable if production itself satisfies general notability because it has received significant coverage. There is a myth that a passing mention of production qualifies a film for notability.
3. Films that have not begun production. These are usually redirected.

Since the purpose of an article is to provide information to the reader, the article should speak for itself, rather than requiring a search by the reader or the reviewer. As written, the article says nothing about production, so it is in class 3, and should be deleted or redirected (and the draft can be kept). A naïve Google search for Madhagaja shows that the film is heavily pre-advertised in India. We would have guessed that.

This article can be deleted from article space, unless it can be expanded within seven days to pass a Heymann test. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:31, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
