Against the proposed deletion

The article does meet the requirements of Wikipedia: Notability (Films). The film has been released nationwide in the Kingdom of Bahrain and has been reviewed by the local critics (such as this critic, cited in the article already [1]). It was also released internationally, such as in New York ([2]). The director of the movie himself earned an award partly because of his movie [3] which was critically acclaimed worldwide. Therefore, it meets many of the requirements in the film notability guide and hence should not be deleted. Droodkin (talk) 19:54, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not really convinced. The first point of WP:NFILM requires full-length reviews from two or more nationally-known critics; you've provided one review by a locally-known critic. The third point requires that the film itself has won an award, rather than its director. Can you provide some evidence it was critically acclaimed worldwide? Any reviews published in reliable sources would be great. Thanks. – hysteria18 (talk) 21:20, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

The article I linked (this one [4]). In paragraph 5, it is stated "The film won critical acclaim for skillfully interweaving a deep sense of reality and romanticism". It is by an independent source, therefore I assume it fits the bill ? Also, here is a short review by the local cinema club in Bahrain [5]. I hope this helps solve the problem.Droodkin (talk) 06:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't think either of those are reliable sources, so I'm going to nominate the article at Articles for deletion. I'll post a link to the discussion on your talk page, your input's welcome. – hysteria18 (talk) 09:48, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
