Vaazhai (2023 film)

Unreleased film that does not satisfy the notability guidelines for unreleased films, which are only notable is production itself has received significant coverage by independent sources. This article only says that the film is planned and that filming has started, so the article says nothing that implies film notability prior to release. The sources are largely in Tamil, but have been machine-translated, which is good enough to see that there isn't independent secondary coverage. None of the references are independent. They say that the film is upcoming. We knew that, but that doesn't make it notable. Maybe it will be when it is released.

There is also a draft by the same editor, which is almost the same as this article, so that this article should be deleted, and the draft can be left to be expanded and resubmitted when the film is released. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Excellent source analysis by nominator. Delete vice draftify becasue as nom states, Draft:Vaazhai already exists. This is also a copy/paste move according to this comparison, which violates our WP:ATTREQ copyright requirements. -2pou (talk) 16:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
