• Comment: Film was briefly reviewed by The New York Times here. I suspect that additional sources may not be readily available online. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 13:53, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Keep as a notable film. In addition to The New York Times above, Roger Ebert has reviewed the film as seen here. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 14:04, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  There is also a review by TV Guide here. It should also be noted that one should search for "I, A Woman" as opposed to "I A Woman" for better results. There are more relevant results in Google Books searching for the title with the comma included. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 14:13, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• We need not depend on only English sources, as this non-English / non-American film had multiple international releases, as well as multiple re-releases in Denmark itself:

• STRONG Keep (possible speedy keep) Sorry nominator, but sending a brand new stub article to AFD only 21 minutes after it was contributed seems to be show a lack of due diligence... and AFD is not for forcing others to improve the improvable. I'll continue work, but others are most welcome to join. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 03:19, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• UPDATE: the 17 word stub that was (IMHO) prematurely sent to AFD, is now a 626 word C-Class article that informs our readers... an easy 36x expansion. I would ask that the nominator consider a withdrawal so we can close this and move on. Now to think up another DYK. . Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 09:25, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Original poster here

Schmidt above has pulled together a lot of new information (well, new to me) about the film and done lots of stuff with templates (or whatever they're called). The film's page is now thoroughly up to the standards of most film articles and the "Deletion" flag should be lifted.

Re OddBodz belief that it was not a notable film - since it came to my attention while watching a TV documentary titled "Sex and the Silver Screen", which spent about 5 of 55 minutes on the film, I don't think Oddbodz's opinion is universally shared.

I was very surprised that a film of such prominence did not have a Wikipedia page. Aidan Karley ( talk) 10:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Appreciations, Aidan. There are lots of topics that do not (yet) have Wikipedia entries... but then it is self-admittedly an unfinished work in progress. Unless the nominator chooses to withdraw, or unless it is so obvious that the topic will not be deleted and the discussion then closed by an uninvolved editor per WP:SNOW and WP:OUTCOMES, an AFD discussion usually runs for 7 days. If your comment is intended (likely) as a "keep", you can simply head it with that word emboldened. Cheers. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 11:20, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• Note to closer: After the expected keep, this article should be moved to the more properly sourcable I, A Woman per WP:NCF and WP:ENGLISH. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 19:49, 24 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  Hmm, doesn't the "A" need to be lowercase "a"? Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 13:39, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply

@ Erik: Well, to be fair, I, a woman would be best (see English film poster). But as we're Anglifying a non-English title, I felt this would look most proper per WP:NCF and WP:ENGLISH. Of course, the original Jeg - en kvinde is far more searchable than the English. I just wished to have whatever here be most searchable and with fewer false positives that the current title. We DO need that coma though. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:29, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
