@Pratap555: If you don't understand the explanation in the decline notice, you should click the "Ask us a question" blue link in the draft decline message, to ask at the AfC help desk. RudolfRed (talk) 01:13, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The implied question is, "Can you please help me find sources to establish the notability of this film"? (In particular, sources with significant coverage of the topic, not mere mentions, but per Wikipedia:Notability (films) a major award would also do.) --Lambiam 10:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are also various problems with the verbiage in the article. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the text is understandable and does not violate policy, this should not an issue for reviewers deciding whether to accept or decline a submitted draft. But you're welcome to improve it as you see fit. --Lambiam 20:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"...ingeniously uses a simple idea—a leaking tap – to deliver a profound message about water conservation. Through its minimalist approach." That sounds like it was lifted from a movie review somewhere. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you prove this? If not, it is skirting very close to calling the editor either incapable of writing a cohesive, comprehensible sentence or a flat-out plagiarist.Maineartists (talk) 12:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just saying what it sounds like. And as noted below, IMDB is being used as a source for the text, which is not kosher. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Last Drop" ingeniously uses a simple premise - a leaking tap - to deliver a profound message about water conservation. Reviews: Last Drop - IMDb Alansplodge (talk) 11:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, not only very adjacent to plagiarism, but also favourably judgemental and therefore not NPOV: "ingeniously", "profound". {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.2.67.235 (talk) 17:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reviews read like they were written by ChatGPT. --Lambiam 20:43, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
