Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dajjal: The Slayer and His Followers (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete‎. Given the disturbing nature of the article content and YouTube trailer, this must have more concrete evidence that it is not a hoax before permitting it to stay. The only keep !voter has not made a case based on policy and available sources, and that individual unnecessarily raises questions of other discussants' origins.

It is clearly WP:HOAX and WP:NOTPROMO. The film never released because it never existed. The trailers were made by some 3rd-class animator(s). The film's director/writer Rana Abrar, is basically a journalist who tried to promote himself through this medium. The film only has directories and databases; there is not a single quality source to prove it. There is no crew, no cast, and not a single reliable source on the film anywhere. It has already been nominated once but the discussion was closed because of a lack of consensus. I think it should be looked at closely this time.

Delete Can't find any reliable evidence that the film was released, which is impressive considering the number of sources here. I notice the previous AfD only received responses from the creator of the article and a single-purpose account. hinnk (talk) 23:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Disturbing if this article is a HOAX and that it managed to survive even an AfD nomination and this leads me to compare AfDs to a LOTTERY because even hoax articles can slip through, let alone topics that are particularly questionable or non-notable.

Keep:It seems unlikly that this page is a HOAX, I have found many sources and news about this film just by searching it up on Google, it's on IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, FilmAffinity and many more sites. It's been well known and has a large media coverage. This article has existed since many years already. I think the deletion of this page is baseless.

- Theevilmind, No, this AFD nomination is not baseless. Why don't you provide some coverage in RS to demonstrate GNG. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 16:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Theevilmind, I'd suggest reading through the guidelines around user-generated content. Databases like IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, or FilmAffinity often rely on user-submitted information or aggregate that data from other sites, so it's hard for us to tell when their pages are accurate. What we'd hope to see from a notable film would be, for example, a reliable publication writing a review that we could base an article off of (but notice that Rotten Tomatoes hasn't found any). hinnk (talk) 19:56, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  There are many references on its wikipedia page other than the user databases sites, you can also look it up. I checked the previous deletion was also rejected and the page was checked in detail that time too and not deleted, I don't know what you found unreliable or not noteworthly in this page after 6 years.
  
  Although I think so that all of you, including the director, are from same country, is there any personal problem here? Theevilmind (talk) 23:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
