fails general notability guideline. search only turns up a song of the same name and the phrase "kali raat". ltb d l ( talk) 01:17, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to List of Hindi films of 1977: notable cast and musicians, is verifiable (see Books) not opposed to keep if sources can be found to expand this. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 07:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep - I see it has an entry in Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema. It needs expansion, not deletion. Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:20, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Expand it? There are no reliable sources. What exactly will you use for content? Meanwhile, why don't you cite that enclopedia article somewhere so we can all read it. Yappy2bhere ( talk) 02:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep Per Shahid, notable. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Delete or Redirect to List_of_Hindi_films_of_1977#A-Z. No sources with enough coverage and reviews. Fails WP:GNG and fails to warrant a standalone page on the film. RangersRus ( talk) 15:39, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to List of Hindi films of 1977 or Delete. The only source I've seen is IMDb, which is as questionable as the current wiki page. I'm not even sure how one would be able to appropriately expand the article, given the lack of WP:SIGCOV. I'm pro-redirect given the notability of those involved in the film.

• Delete. Keeping it is out of the question. Google finds no reviews, no interviews, no box office, nothing - fails WP:GNG with knobs on. There isn't even a reliable source to establish cast members or release date. I find a monochrome movie poster (VHS box? idk) that names the production company and five members of the crew but no cast and no year. There is no way to write a " reasonably balanced article" without sources. Redirecting to List of Hindi films of 1977 isn't an option. There's no reliable source that confirms it even belongs in that list. I find a movie poster (VHS box? idk) that names five members of the crew but none of the cast or the release date. Without support that entry will be removed sooner or later, the proposed redirect will then redirect to a page that doesn't mention the topic, and we'll waste some time at WP:RfD disposing of an ill-considered redirect.

• Unless more or better coverage at WP:Library or elsewhere convinces us otherwise, redirect to List of Hindi films of 1977. -- Slgrandson ( How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 08:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Entries exist in six books. DareshMohan ( talk) 05:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply
