@Changgogoi: You're getting better since your last effort to delete this article, but you really need to study the nomination steps explained in WP:AFD, and then spend time studying WP:NF and WP:DEL#REASON, as a film's controversial topic, it being released through YouTube, and it "not" being a feature film length are not proper deletion rationals. Failing an inclusion criteria is. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 10:05, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Sorry nominator, but in my own incomplete search I found multiple unused sources which speak toward this film directly and in more-than-trivial detail... Indian Express, The Arunachal Times, The Shillong Times, Nagaland Post, and others (kind of unexpected for a non feature length YouTube distributed film). It may well be enough to allow this to met WP:NF. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 10:05, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per my own work showing this short film as meeting WP:NF. Perhaps not a happy topic to those of mainland India or a topic they may not like (sorry), but notability to the 29 states of Northeast India is good enough for en.Wikipeida. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 12:11, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

actually I am just an new editor .. I want to delete it coz may be some people dont like the article to be here ... or may be take action against me .. the story shown in the movie is happen all the time with North-East Indian peoples when they travel to citys like Delhi,Banglore etc. Changgogoi (talk) 06:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh.... but just as I explained on your talk page, the issue is that that once contributed to Wikipedia it is no longer yours. Liking or not liking a topic is not a reason to delete an arguably notable article. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:44, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
