The result was no consensus. I see opinion evenly divided between Keep, Delete and Merge and there has been no participation after the last relist. LizRead!Talk! 06:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete Fails
WP:SIGCOV - every source seems to be minor mention, part of an itinerary or list without any discussion.

Keep. The film was screened at least in
37 film festivals in 2013 (and at least 14 times in 2014 and 2015) and then at least screened at the
Bay Area festival in 2019. So
WP:NFILM's following criterion is met: "The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release." And I'm sorry but why say it's "not important for"
this filmmaker or Iranian cinema? -
My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC) (N.B.- Not opposed to a redirect to the page
about the director but cannot see why we ought to; absolutely opposed to deletion; renaming
Game Over (short film) might also be a good idea).reply
Thank you for your reply. Regarding the deletion purpose, the film was an average success for a young filmmaker at the time, based on the grade of festivals that the film had screened at, and the film had no significant achievements, neither artistic nor conceptually, for the filmmaker in comparison to his debut and also two last films. I want to delet this page in order to put the focus on the most successful films of the director.

Thank you. I cannot see how the existence of this page could hinder your effort in improving the pages about other films by the same filmmaker. You don't have to edit it but that's not a reason to have it deleted. if your point is that more attention should be given by readers to other of his films, that's also not a reason for deletion at all. It's less notable and certainly less covered in media than other films by the same director, fair, but again, that is not a reason for deletion. It meets at least one criterion for notability of films on Wikipedia. If a redirect is decided, part of the article should be merged into the director's page, but deletion does not seem suitable. Best, -

I submitted the page for deletion, 2 days ago via PROD. The same day, user [GB fan] rejected the submission for the following reason:
"remove PROD, was previously PROD'd in edit at 21:23, 13 September 2013, was later removed, must go to WP:AFD"
So, I have followed the description and resubmitted my deletion proposal for the 3rd time.

Thanks for the reply. PROD and Afds are 2 different processes, this is the 1st Afd. Anyway, let's wait until this is over (and maybe the page should be renamed then, unless someone does it before that). -

Comment This is rather odd, I get a bit of an impression that this is a case of an artist not being happy with their early work and wanting to forget about it, not sure if that is a good reason for deletion.

I agree. I think that is not a good reason for that. Due to that and My oh My's sources, which show that the film is notable as it meets WP:NFILM, I am !voting Keep.

Merge into
Seyed Mohsen Pourmohseni Shakib. As with
White Paper (film), nearly all of the sources available for this are guides for shorts programs in which the film has screened. When it comes to coverage of the film itself, there's not enough to require a separate article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Additional discussion of the available sources would be very helpful. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Merge as suggested to the Shakib article seems sensible.

Keep, per Mushy Yank. As to " I want to delet this page in order to put the focus on the most successful films of the director", we don't delete articles in order to assist the subject's promotional campaign. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing);
