Nominator's rationale: The article redirect is
Devotional film. Since the term is only used in India and does not refer to Muslim, Sikh, Jain or Christian devotional films, "Hindu" is redundant. Kailash29792(talk) 10:43, 17 October 2022 (UTC)reply
Keep - a redirect is very flimsy evidence for dropping 'Hindu'. I could easily create another redirect
Hindu devotional film to the same (very brief) section.
Oculi (

Oppose, the first source mentions films about Zoroastrism, Christianity and Sikhism as examples.
Marcocapelle (

Keep -- The genre seems mainly to be used of Indian films promoting Hinduism, but the term "devotional films" could easily be applied to ones about the life and death of Christ, e.g.
The Passion of the Christ, which is a Christian case of this genre; also "Fact and faith films" (no WP article).

SupportPichpich. It seems that Vilnius is not the only university on the country, though the list article is not clear on this, as it seems to list what are probably departments of perhaps 2 or 3 universities. If it is not the only university, the buildings category should be kept and populated.
