The result was keep. As always leniency is always given to Indian subjects (Ie films, shows, BLPs etc etc) as unlike UK/US sourcing for indian stuff's alot harder to find, Anyway overall consensus is to keep. (

Keep per meeting
WP:NFF (paragraph 3). As topic notability is through the availability of sources (even if not currently used), no article ever has to make a claim "I am notable". The stub article already has sources which tell us
filming has commenced with
lead actorHarbhajan Mann, and
a little BEFORE tells us its production HAS coverage to meet
WP:GNG and that its release date is next month on
October 30. It serves the project and its readers for this stub to be expanded over time and through regular editing using the available sources. Yes the current stub is a
poorly sourced, but so what? When a film topic meets
WP:NFF (paragraph 3), we do not delete it... we fix it. Sorry
Jimfbleak but we
look first, determine if the topic is notable and not judge it for being
WP:IMPERFECT, and then we allow it to remain and be improved over time and through
use of the many available sources. One editors opinion. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:36, 13 September 2015 (UTC)reply
CommentSchmidt, , to me, that amounts to saying that all films (and by implication books and recordings) can have an article, even if not released at the time of posting, as long as they have some sort of reference to someone or something that already has an article. That interpretation of para 3 seems to rely on notability by association, which isn't normally acceptable. Not my understanding of
the notability guidelines at all. Presumably your interpretation also applies to people (X's father was famous, so X gets an article as long as he can find a ref or two?)

@
Jimfbleak: Please do not misstate or misinterpret or
WP:WAX my arguments. Simply put, I pay attention to community consensus that created
MOS:FILM#production and
WP:NFF and
WP:GNG, and understand that (no matter where it is being shot) IF a film project has entered filming (many never do) and ITS production receives coverage to meet
WP:GNG (many never do) it may merit an article before release. I believe this filming project meets inclusion guides enough to be expanded per available sources to serve our readers. You (apparently) do not, and that's okay. Thank you. Schmidt, Michael Q. 07:32, 14 September 2015 (UTC)reply
Keep. Agree with argumentation as presented by
MichaelQSchmidt, above. Cheers, — Cirt (
