Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because... I am pleased to say that by now, this is a popular film and has been featured in many top publications. The reason by which it was deleted first was because the film was not popular. Wikipedia was always happy with the content of the film. --Greenbangalore (talk) 17:53, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have declined the speedy deletion request because the new article is substantially different from the deleted one. However, ultimately, popularity of a film is not sufficient by itself for inclusion on Wikipedia. The test we use is notability, which we measure by how much it is discussed in reliable sources. By declining the speedy deletion, I am not indicating that I think the subject is notable, I have not looked deeply into that. I have only made a comparison with the old article. If the notability of the film is challenged, then another full deletion debate will be initiated to settle the matter. SpinningSpark 16:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
