Not clear that this film passes WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Only cited source is to a vendor selling the film on DVD, and an IMDb listing in the external links. Poor sourcing also in foreign language wikis.4meter4 (talk) 01:19, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Rotten Tomatoes has nothing... There is no Japanese wiki article, so that's no help. One link here isn't enough and I can't find sources. There might be some in Japanese, but I don't see any we can use. Oaktree b (talk) 01:40, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: There is a Japanese Wikipedia article here. The film is based on a stage play. While the Japanese Wikipedia page is primarily about the stage play, it also includes substantial information about the film there. lullabying (talk) 02:31, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The article definitely needs cleaning up, but I found an article from Movie Walker [ja] (owned by Kadokawa Corporation), an article from Oricon, and several articles on Eiga, one of which includes an interview with the director. lullabying (talk) 02:36, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Kei Horie#Directing. Not opposed to Keep, per Lullabying. Opposed to deletion. Please contact Project Japan or ping users to verify a standalone article about the play or the film is not indeed warranted. Added coverage myself but have no time to do more. -Mushy Yank. 11:08, 4 March 2025 (UTC) [reply]
Keep per lullabying. I should add this Eiga article. Though I'm surprised this does not have any Natalie Source. I think you should search the Japanese name of the article on google as a BEFORE search. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 13:46, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per article improvements and @Lullabying. I also agree with @Miminity that showing evidence of a competent WP:BEFORE in Japanese is crucial before nominating Japanese articles for deletion. DCsansei (talk) 02:48, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:HEY. Madeleine (talk) 03:38, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
