Fails WP:NFILM. Previously AfD'd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Axe of Vengeance, however many editors objected on the basis of WP:TRAINWRECK, so I am nominating the relevant ones individually. SITH (talk) 00:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Kwame Owusu-Ansah. The Nigerian film industry is the third-largest n the world (behind the US and India), but nearly all of its films are intended for local distribution in Nigeria and Ghana and receive minimal-to-zero press elsewhere. Did this film receive reviews and coverage in Nigerian newspapers or periodicals? It's hard to say, as there are very few online archives of Nigerian or Ghanaian material. Arguably, there's a claim for WP:NFO 2d retention here, because the film was included in an exhibition/program about the history of Nigerian and Ghanaian film posters and "film shack" culture. That was presented in 2011 as "Movie Mojo: Hand-Painted Posters from Ghana", and in a slightly different form in 2012; the latter version of the exhibition is named after this film. Even for my inclusion standards, that's a pretty thin case, and I can't really bring myself to directly argue for retention absent at least one actual review or analysis in a (probably Nigerian) source. But at the bare minimum (and despite the cleanup issues his article needs), Kwame Owusu-Ansah was a significant actor in Nigerian and Ghanaian film, and a redirect to his article recognizes the title as a plausible search term.

Delete or redirect. I did a Google search of the film and didn't see a review of it in reliable sources. Nigerian and Ghanaian newspapers tend to focus on politics and not entertainment. There are only a few reliable sources dedicated to film reviews. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 02:58, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
