The result was keep. The preponderance of the keep !votes (despite the confrontational postings of the article creator) meets notability criteria. (non-admin closure) Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:52, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable documentary film, no coverage about the film itself (although plenty about the subject of the film), needs independent secondary coverage about the film per WP:NF BOVINEBOY2008 23:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I found no significant coverage for the film itself. SL93 (talk) 04:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • See The Rachel Maddow Show 03/03/2017, the link is below Kap677-2 (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The film had really big echo in Russia. 217.76.1.22 (talk) 06:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would you mind providing citation? I cannot find any evidence of this... BOVINEBOY2008 11:26, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • See ^[1]. Do you speak Russian, by the way? Bovineboy2008, where are you from, guy? Kap677-2 (talk) 20:50, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • How is the nationality or language of Bovineboy2008 pertinent here Kap677-2 (talk)? Are you from Ukraine? While I am not an expert editor like the rest of you, I am expert at other things. And yes, I am here.
• Keep: The coverage is in abundance, see the page. It's a documentary film, not a feature one. Thus mentioned articles in The Telegraph and Sky News, for example, is more than enough. How about The Rachel Maddow Show^[2]? In addition, film has received about 13 millions of views ^[3] - it's more than population of some countries, isn't it?

As for notability: number of view more than of other russian films (even feature ones), such as Viking (film), Guardians (film), Versus (2016 film) and others? Bovineboy2008, will you delete them all? More: Rallies and manifestations devoted to this film in many russian cities and towns are going to be held 26 of March^[4] Kap677-2 (talk) 20:50, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Contrary to assertion by the nominator, almost all references currently on the page are about this movie (and also about the subject of the movie). This includes sources like BBC, New York Times and a lot more. This is a notable documentary about a notable person. My very best wishes (talk) 15:09, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. In 80 towns and cities across Russia people are planning to hold demonstrations in the wake of this movie. I haven't seen such activity since 1991. I'm a Russian and live in Russia, and I can see how this movie is reverberating across the country. Virtually everybody has seen it. There are numerous articles, but not in the state-controlled media, which remain totally silent. ---CopperKettle 15:28, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep sufficient sourcing exists to establish notability. Lepricavark (talk) 01:02, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
