• Delete this is one of the very many articles created at breakneck speed by {{u| Gihan Jayaweera}}. The problem with this article is the same as with much of their other work. It is based on a template, and cited to sources that the user cannot read in their original language. This approach leads to situations where they simply add "The film received mixed reviews from critics" and then cite that to whatever looks like a review. In this case, there is a review, but it is anything but mixed; it is very negative. One source, afromagazine.nl is not the actual source, but got the content from https://www.waterkant.net/suriname/2015/09/14/surinaamse-film-lobi-singi-in-premiere/, a blog that appears to have published a press release. Other errors are almost comical: The cast list hasn't been translated, and looks like it was copied from IMDB. For example: Astrid Belliot as Zangeres. Zangeres is not a name, it means singer in Dutch. I don't think the film itself is notable (it's a student project), but even if it were, this article is so wrong about just about everything, there is nothing here worth salvaging.

• Delete. This film has one independent, reliable, in-depth review.[https://www.parbode.com/lobi-singi/] The Waterkant article[https://www.waterkant.net/suriname/2015/09/14/surinaamse-film-lobi-singi-in-premiere/] is a capsule review and event description that does not count towards the film's notability. Lobi singi are Surinamese love songs and are notable, so maybe one day someone will re-use the topic. gidonb (talk) 01:21, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
• Delete: Not enough coverage to satisfy GNG or any other measure of notability. Toddst1 (talk) 06:00, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
