- Comment. The current sourcing is inadequate to demonstrate notability. But this looks like a mainstream Egyptian film that should have generated coverage at the time in local media. Would need a search by someone with working Arabic and access to Egyptian news archives to better determine notability. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

- Possible redirect to West Side Story § Films, where we may give mention to this Egyptian version. If you can find good sources, please ping me. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 00:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

- Merge the one cited sentence to West Side Story § Films, without prejudice to future restoration if sources are found. The existing article is untenable under WP:V, but we should endeavor to preserve verified encyclopedic information under WP:PRESERVE. -- Visviva (talk) 23:39, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
