[edit] Hyder Bilgrami

Hyder Bilgrami (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

non-notable filmmaker and his films. Google pulls up very few unique hits for "Hyder Bilgrami". IMDB mentions only one of his films, Bandhak, and it had no votes even though it is from 2004 which makes it appear that none of these films have had any real level of distribution. All of these articles are created by one user, Arvindpal within one day so there may be a conflict of interest here. IrishGuy talk 23:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are his films and also appear non-notable:

Chath A Roof Without Walls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Bandhak (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • Hint: You can't nominate the movies this way. They and the man all need their own separate AFD's because any one of them might be notable without the others. You need to withdraw this nomination and try again. — coelacan talk — 19:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Also, Bandhak clearly meets WP:NOTE: a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself; the article has two citations from Indian newspapers which I added when de-prodding it. cab 23:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Bandhak was a non commercial Bollywood film. It was a different film than usual Bollywood film that are usually dance drama. Bandhak was selected in different film festivals like IAAC, SAAFA and one in Rutger's University. It was released for DVD market. I had seen the site of Chath A Roof Without Walls again a different film on homeless in America. Arvind Pal
  • Keep The article says "A press release from the distributor Digimax Studio describes it as the first Hindi film in the United States" which if true and verified certainly makes it notable. --Richhoncho 00:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Convention-defying artistic merit plus adequate distribution definitely sounds not irrelevant to me. -- Strangelv 16:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
