Submission declined on 6 August 2024 by SafariScribe (talk).

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Comment: IMDb, MUBI, e.t.c are not reliable sources. I don't think the film is notable per WP:NFF. Maybe you give it time to gather reviews. Also, I think it's known as "Shahid" per Variety because I can't find any for The Witness (2024). Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 14:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
