Failure to satisfy WP:NFILM - couldn't find sourcing that satisfied all three of Sig Cov/reliable/independent.

It's got a good number of notable actors, so I thought there might be reviews, but thus far was unavailable to find any.

It presumably isn't "Billionaires Boys Club" - the Kevin Stacey film!

Weak keep. Well, there are easier things to find online sources for than a 15 year old Nigerian film! Also, the correct title for this film is Billionaire's Club. All that said, there's at least one article in a scholarly journal dedicated to analysis of themes in the film: Aniago, Emeka; Onah, Jonas; Okosisi, Callista (2017). "Analytical evaluation of supernatural realities in Nigerian films: Ernest Obi's Idemili and Afam Okereke's Billionaire's Club as paradigms". IKENGA International Journal of Institute of African Studies. 17 (1): 157–163. As it was published well over a decade after the film's release, I can only assume the film was relatively well-known and any difficulty in finding sources is the result of systemic bias rather than actual absent notability.

I had also searched that, though I didn't get the journal (or perhaps I did and didn't read all the way) - definitely one of the odder titles, shame I can't get to it! I grant there's something to the argument - but I use 2000 as my balance point. Nosebagbear (talk)

Nom partial vote change - to any closer, I didn't want to amend the nomination, but please consider my inherent !vote to be a Weak Delete Nosebagbear (talk) 23:01, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article - This movie article was enjoyed by Nigerian's and Ghanaian's despite it was a Nigerian movie, the global community at large also liked it, so keeping this article would very key, but I am sure that in the future the would be good number references and citation Jwale2 (talk) 00:29, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jwale2: - this isn't a justification, just a variant of WP:ILIKEIT. It's worth having a read of arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:38, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I located an additional scholarly source through Jstor. Here is the citation: Brown, Matthew H. “At the Threshold of New Political Communities: Some Notes on the History of Nollywood's Epic Genre.” The Global South, vol. 7, no. 1, 2013, pp. 55–78. JSTOR, JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.2979/globalsouth.7.1.55. I have access to Jstor so I was able to check the text. Between this and the article noted by the editor above, the film meets WP:NFILM.Citrivescence (talk) 07:10, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question. Why is this being discussed under the title "Billionaire Club" when if one clicks on the wiki-text, one finds out the film is called "Billionaire's Club"? Vorbee (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vorbee: - because that's what the article is currently titled. If it remains then it can be moved, but that can be messy to do mid-AfD. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:47, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would have been much better if you had performed this move before nominating for deletion. Then it would have been discussed under the correct title. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:00, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, but unless it's absolutely clear-cut, like a grammar issue, I prefer to check the mood of people before performing a move. That would have required delaying this AfD (which is both more important than a minor move but also can handle it if people opt to Keep). Additionally it risks unneeded multiple moves if the AfD decided on something different. TL;DR - I could have, but there were better reasons not to; than to.
