Film appears to fail WP:NFILM. There is one review cited, but more are needed to pass notability guidelines.

Previous discussion found a review [https://www.ottplay.com/review/switchh-review-this-grisly-and-harrowing-action-thriller-was-unexpected-from-vikrant-massey/1158667dff927], but no consensus on whether or not that is a reliable source.

The result of the first discussion was "no consensus", and the notability tag remains. I am not a fan of that tag, I think that either the article should be improved to the extent that the tag can be removed, or the article should be deleted if notability cannot be proven.

Can we come to a consensus this time? Notable (keep article) or non-notable (delete article). I vote Delete DonaldD23 talk to me 13:38, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

• Neutral. The Times of India is considered marginally reliable to generally unreliable, though Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force considers it WP:RS for film reviews so whether it is reliable is borderline. Otherwise, the previous discussion linked to [https://www.ottplay.com/review/andor-series-review-diego-lunas-show-starts-off-great-ends-up-slow/f44f29e9fe444 this] review, which is from a source with an unconvincing [https://www.ottplay.com/about-us about us] page and little editorial policies, but it partners with Hindustan Times, a WP:RS. I don't think a partnership would make it necessarily generally reliable, however, the opinions of other editors might differ. Therefore, IMO this article borderline fails WP:GNG (even if both of the reviews are obviously WP:RS, WP:GNG is still, generously speaking, just borderline met). In contrast, the rest of the sources appear to be routine announcements. Additionally, none of the WP:NFILM criteria appear to be met. My WP:BEFORE search mainly found announcements or general info on the actor that are insufficiently WP:SIGCOV, e.g., [https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/lifestyle/im-workaholic-355043 1], [https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dubai-based-actor-naren-kumar-hits-the-right-switchh-with-new-film-1.84604718 2]. Therefore, I'm at neutral to weak delete (leaning towards neutral). VickKiang (talk) 21:28, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
• Weak keep as well as the Times of India review there is this piece [https://web.archive.org/web/20210309171026/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/switchh-trailer-vikrant-massey-stars-in-this-outdated-con-movie-7220853/ here] from national newspaper The Indian Express which is a strange mishmash of an article but I think it does count as a bylined review, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
• :It’s a minor announcement on a trailer, you could say that it is SIGCOV, which I disagree but can see where you are coming from. However, I just don’t see how it could be classified as a review. Many thanks. VickKiang (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
• Yes it confused me as it seemed to be a review of the film but it is actually a review of the trailor so i'm withdrawing my vote Atlantic306 (talk) 00:44, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. There are two reviews including this [https://www.ottplay.com/review/switchh-review-this-grisly-and-harrowing-action-thriller-was-unexpected-from-vikrant-massey/1158667dff927 one]. Regarding notability, it is owned by HT Media and they hire proper journalists. The author of the review previously [https://www.newindianexpress.com/author/Akhila-Damodaran/210/archive worked] for The New Indian Express. Other sources found: [https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/news/2021/dec/17/naren-kumar-on-making-bollywood-debut-with-switchh-28499.html here] and [https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/hindi/features/eros-nows-original-film-switchhs-trailer-starring-vikrant-massey-now-187287/ here].

::Good point, I should update to neutral as two reviews give (very generously) extremely borderline notability. On the other hand, [https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/hindi/features/eros-nows-original-film-switchhs-trailer-starring-vikrant-massey-now-187287/ this] seems to be a routine announcement about the trailer, whereas this gives general coverage of an [https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/news/2021/dec/17/naren-kumar-on-making-bollywood-debut-with-switchh-28499.html actor], quoting him exclusively but giving little direct in-depth independent coverage. So I personally don't think the latter two refs are SIGCOV but feel free to disagree here. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 00:37, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
