The result was no consensus. I have my own somewhat doubts about notability, but this has been running since November without any true clear consensus. Both sides make good arguments. No prejudice against this being re-opened if anyone wishes to do so, but this particular AfD has been running long enough. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:22, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As a 1963 minor film, the article is completely unreferenced, and doesn't meet WP:MOVIE and WP:CRYSTAL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Umais Bin Sajjad (talk • contribs) November 24, 2013‎

Weak keep As the film exists and is sourcable, this is not a matter of WP:CRYSTAL. As the article is improvable we do well to enlist aid of Pakistani Wikipedians. NOTE: Pre-1990 Indian films may be sourcable to books, but we will not find old newspapers archived. See WP:INDAFD.[1] I do not read Pakisnai nor do I have access to old Pakistani news sources.

- Have you considered under WP:MOVIE that, even in lacking English coverage and even if only in Pakistan, this 1963 Pakistani film is sourcable as featuring "...significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career."?

Comment who is that notable person and how was the performance a major part in their career? Flat Out let's discuss it 03:48, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Filmmaker Amin Malik, apparently notable in and to Pakistan film.[2] His not having a Wikipedia article simply means it has not been written (yet). WP:CSB, WP:OEN. Cheers. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:42, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
