"crowd funded first foray into film-making" to cite the only usable ref. Not notable. Seems to have been shown in public 4 times only. DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this page as we need to acknowledge the crowd funded 1 hour film which are not always getting the recognition. As the film is a low budget one, its news are also not very common, but the page is already having sufficient references. Rajeshbieee (talk) 14:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

leaning to delete, actually no claim of notability and I've found nothing of substance in my searches. Apart from the searches, according to the same article its cast is of "newcomers" and its theatrical release consists of just four afternoon screenings, so it's very likely that it did not received enough coverage to pass GNG and NFILM.

Keep This film is notable on a social and economic level for being crowd funded in Malaysia especially if it is the first of its kind46.208.73.116 (talk) 21:41, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disappointed - * I am really disappointed by the deletion of the article Thrikonam. It was the first crowd funded 1 hour short film made in Kerala, India and the page had sufficient references including a Malayalam news channel report about the film.[1] Yes, it was shown only 4 times to public and the numbers will increase. We should have given the right due for that project in wikipedia and I request you to recreate the page as the film has been released officially in youtube.

Delete No evidence that the film itself is notable. The article just states that it "is" crowded funded, not anything about whether it is the "first" Indian or first Malayalam-language or first short crowd funded film or whatever. I don't believe that the first crowded film for each country or for each language is sufficient for being notable. If it was (or as the discussion seems to indicate, if it becomes) notable as a crowd-funded film, then it deserves a mention at Crowdfunding#Significant_campaigns per WP:NOPAGE. Otherwise there is no evidence that this is a notable film standing on its own, even with the youtube release. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
