Fails WP:GNG, WP:NFO and WP:NFSOURCES. I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I did a WP:BEFORE and found nothing suitable to pass WP:NEXIST. The Film Creator (talk) 02:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- Leaning keep, based on the large number of foreign-language Wiki versions with citations suggesting more extensive coverage in other languages. That, plus the fact that the English-language voice cast collects some fairly big names—Ariana Grande, David Spade, Jennette McCurdy, and Christopher Lloyd—leads me to suspect that this is a notable production.

- I have added analysis from a just-published scholarly article (the pages can be found in the Amazon.com preview for the referenced book containing the article), which has about 600 words of analysis of the film. BD2412 T 05:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- One review of the film given is fine; poor sourcing otherwise. I looked at the Fr wiki article, it uses ImDB and blog-type sites, so nothing there for reviews. It mentions this video won some awards, but I don't think they're notable. It was a Spanish release, perhaps more sources are to be found in that language? Weak Delete until we can confirm if there are other sources. Oaktree b (talk) 14:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- The Spanish sources are not helpful to achieve notability. BruceThomson (talk) 05:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
Weak keepas per the significant coverage in the scholarly article identified above, but more reviews in reliable sources would clinch it, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)- Comment IMDB has links to 10 secondary reviews with languages including Italian, Spanish and German: [1]. The Guardian features the film cover in a gallery about the Cannes film festival Marché [2] along with the quote "Something just slightly uncomfortable about this one" ResonantDistortion 15:44, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Oaktree b and ResonantDistortion: I have added content from the first secondary review listed at IMDb, from www.cinefilos.it. I don't know if this is considered a particularly high level source (it is used in some existing Wikipedia articles), but it does appear to be a reasonably thorough review. BD2412 T 17:29, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Tendency to keep. Improvements by @BD2412: adding a scholarly article, a thorough national review, and commentary from a known WP:RS enough to push over WP:NF. ResonantDistortion 20:03, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as there are more editors advocating Keeping this article but also significant doubts on the part of others about whether additional reliable sources/reviews can be located.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:56, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep moving to full keep as the additional references identified in this discussion such as the multiple reviews described by ResonantDistortion as well as the scholarly journal article show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:10, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
