Bilo jednom...

Sorry, non-notable film, as much as I sypathize with the theme and resentiment of the film. The author of the article Jdjerich (talk · contribs) is likely the author of the film, thus WP:COI comes to play. No significant independent reviews, no indications of its popularity or even the cult status status. Heck, no hits even on Dnevnik, the local newspaper with thorough coverage of local events. No other WP:RS that I can find either [1]. Duja► 13:03, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and maybe redirect to Bilo jednom u Hrvatskoj. The google hits for Bilo jednom are unrelated (it's a common phrase), so I don't think the film is notable. Shalom ^Hello 14:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, a redirect to Bilo jednom u Hrvatskoj is not appropriate. "Bilo jednom..." translates to "Once upon a time...". For the same reason it should not redirect to Once Upon a Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America, Once Upon a Time ... The Revolution or Once Upon a Time in Mexico. In any case hopefully we find something on the notability of this film per Wikipedia:Notability (films). // laughing man 15:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that WYSIWYG applies, i.e. the references already provided in the article are the only ones. At least, that's what I managed to find out independently. According to the snippet from [2] (the author gave an interview to local "Radio In"), he's (still?) a student of Novi Sad Academy of Arts ("Jovan Đerić" is also a frequent name+surname combination, I think I found at least 4 different men by googling). Personally, I wish I'd seen the movie, but WP:ILIKEIT doesn't trump WP:N and WP:V. Duja► 08:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you wanna help, take your time... Sorry for being impolite, but you should check "press" page on official web-site of the movie, there you can find articles from newspapers (two or three from "Dnevnik" - their site-archive search is so nasty I was not able to find those articles neither). As well, if you are really trying to clean-up Wikipedia from spam-articles, you should also check some links on the google-search page you provided. Other mentions of the movie you can find there. How comes that nobody of you guys checked www.bilojednom.info and contents of that site? Photos from the premiere, web-trailer and else can be found there.
