Comment: In addition to WP:CITEKILL, much of the content is unsourced and sources provided are brief mentions or what representative of Film Afrika say about themselves. S0091 (talk) 16:52, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Your submission is hampered by Citekill. " film productions[11][12][13][14][15][16]to post-apartheid South Africa.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]" are prime examples of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder.Citekill makes it very hard to review a draft. Solving that makes it much easier 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:51, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
