Submission declined on 15 April 2025 by BuySomeApples (talk).

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 web content). 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 would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
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.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

8Filmai is an online film database dedicated to cataloging Lithuanian films, filmmakers, actors, and related media. The platform was launched in early 2024 and offers a searchable, user-friendly interface for exploring Lithuania’s cinematic history and present-day productions.

Overview

8Filmai provides detailed information about Lithuanian feature films, short films, documentaries, and TV projects. Each entry typically includes metadata such as:

Title (original and English)
Release year
Director, writers, cast
Genres
Synopsis
Poster (if available)

The site also allows users to browse by categories, genres, and years, offering a compact and straightforward experience tailored to Lithuanian cinema.

Features

Comprehensive database of Lithuanian films
Clean, minimalistic interface
Search and filtering tools
Film credits including cast and crew
Designed with a focus on accessibility for Lithuanian-speaking audiences

Technology

8Filmai runs on a self-hosted server at Weebly Front Page, suggesting a lightweight backend suitable for a niche film archive. The platform may use modern web technologies like Node.js, Express, or React, although specific technical documentation is not publicly available.

Reception

While still relatively new, 8Filmai has been praised in online communities for its potential to become a central hub for Lithuanian cinema fans and researchers. As it grows, it may become a vital resource for film students, critics, and cultural historians.
