Keep - This film has over 15 incoming links and it features involvement of several notable actors and filmmakers which have their own articles. This is a strong indication of sufficiently significant attention. The fact that the film is included in the Black Film Archive shows that this attention persists over time. --

Comment Hold on,
4meter4, "directly and in detail"? The first link to "Icons of African American Comedy" is barely a passing mention; the next link is to a brief mention of the film in a section of a book that is about the Berry Brothers, not this film; the next link is to a paragraph about the career of the actress Moms Mabley, not this film; the next link is to an entry in an A-Z guide that has only a routine directory-like entry for the film listing performers and director, nothing more; the next one is an exact repeat of the A-Z guide entry, not a new reference (I am concerned you did not notice this) ; the last is an extremely brief mention in another published piece which is, again, about Mabley, not this film. All of these combine to show evidence that the film existed, and that it had some famous people who participated in its creation, but the apparent dearth of actual discussion of the film itself is a strong argument against its notability, wouldn't you agree?
Also: what part of
WP:NFILM does this film meet? I have looked over the criteria there and this film doesn't look like it meets ANY of the points mentioned which would qualify it under this SSG. Can you specify which one(s) you believe it meets?
