Probably Delete - Are there guidelines that discuss how foreign films should be treated? It's tough, as an American, to determine how notable this film was in China

We use the same guideline for non-English films as we do for English-language ones. The English-language Wikipedia is not for English-only topics. Under
WP:NONENG and
WP:CSB, we treat foreign-language topics just like we do English-language ones. Film notability, even if only in and to someplace like China, is not dependent upon Western release nor upon Western coverage. Schmidt, Michael Q.16:21, 24 April 2014 (UTC)reply
Keep per meeting
WP:NF though
coverage in reliable sources, and coverage (no matter the country in which it is covered) IS the governing criteria. We do not care if the coverage for a Chinese film is
not English as long as it has received coverage. Suitable start class. Project and article will benefit from expansion from Chinese-reading Wikipedians, but not through outright deletion. Schmidt, Michael Q.01:22, 24 April 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment I can't formally withdraw the nomination because Bali88 supported delete, but I now see that there is coverage of these films under the alternate title "Golden Lotus" (which wasn't originally indicated as an alternate title in the articles). --
