Deletion of Babina (film)

Comment: A German master's thesis on Ghanaian film had a chapter on the ''Babina'' films (there were three of them, or one film released in three parts if you like). Here is a link to an online working paper version of that thesis: https://www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de/Dateien/AP75.pdf. More importantly for establishing notability, ''Babina'' was one of the subjects of the documentary ''Ghanaian Video Tales'' by Tobias Wendl, sponsored by DFG (Federal German Research Foundation). Website for documentary: http://www.arcadia-film.de/en/index.php/projects/film_tv/ghanaian_video_tales, description of contents by Nordic Anthropological Film Association: http://nafa.uib.no/?q=node/538. That suggests notability under #2, "The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema." Of course it may meet  or one of the other  criteria as well

Comment: Coming back to this discussion to !vote. The film already meets #2 as one of the subjects of the documentary listed above, so that's technically enough by itself. Additionally, in the course of creating a page for Kalsoume Sinare, it became clear that this film was a major part of her career, and was also a major part (indeed, the launch) of Leila Djansi's career, which is further reason under the  inclusionary criteria for having an article on the film. Having two reasonable targets also precludes redirecting or merging the article, and there is enough material in the sources already provided to improve the article considerably

Comment: There are references https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XI6ADwAAQBAJ&pg=PA244&dq=%22babina%22+ghana+film&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD9f_4zeffAhWNGRQKHTVkCy8Q6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=%22babina%22%20ghana%20film&f=false here and https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kGikCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA20&dq=%22babina%22+ghana+film&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilxozPzuffAhUaA2MBHZPXA10Q6AEIMDAB#v=onepage&q=%22babina%22%20ghana%20film&f=false more info about the screenwriter. The last source does not have much about the film itself but a bio of the screenwriter. There are however, lots of references about the movie but they are in https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22babina%22+ghana+film snippets which I cannot access.  Considering the age of this Ghanaian (a developing country) movie and the close proximity to the internet age particularly in Africa, I think we are more likely to find more RS in old newspaper publications and magazines which may not be available online. I am actually surprised there are online references to this movie given its age, which in my view adds to its |notability. I will be adding some refs to the article

Comment: We don't have to be able to read the snippets, we know they exist and that's enough per . These sources just about get it over the line for notability https://www.ifeas.uni-mainz.de/Dateien/AP75.pdf 1 https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/movies/pulsethrowbackthursday-8-epic-old-ghanaian-movies-you-need-to-watch-again/8w247dh 2 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MQolDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA240&dq=babina+2000+film&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiEmvaRsvffAhUhsKQKHfRSDrQQ6AEILTAB#v=onepage&q=babina%202000%20film&f=false 3
