29 Second Film Festival

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable film festival. Started in 2011. References include announcement of the festival, and an article about a film that earned a place, and not about the festival itself. Understand being Korean articles can be hard to find, but just not seeing it here. Caffeyw (talk) 14:29, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some more articles about the festival. I'm no good at Korean so I would appreciate a Korean-proficient editor checking these out.

From what I can tell most of these are repeats of the same press release. In fact the wording for the majority of them is 100% the same. For the other one or two that aren't the exact same press release, the festival is mentioned in passing in relation to a bigger article. ie a passing mention that it's happening. There's no independent information about the festival in these. Caffeyw (talk) 17:26, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To re-evaluate what was offered by User:Brainy J:

Keep. Despite the nom's telling us "from what I can tell" and claiming the sources are repetitive, from what I can tell through translation of User:Brainy J's offerings and in looking further and evaluating the many other Korean language G-news results, enough available sources are NOT repeats of a press release, and show this topic spoken of in enough independent sources to support an article. We do not ever have to have heard of this in the US, as notable to Korea and through multiple Korean language sources is perfectly fine for en.Wikipedia.

And Caffeyw, before responding, please let's await input from editors better able to read, understand, and evaluate Korean sources for this Korean topic. Huh? Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 03:54, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article, and wait for further developments. By the way, we can notice that User:Caffeyw has never ever written a line, even in reply to a message in her talk page. May be this user is under the threshold of notoriety. Pldx1 (talk) 20:17, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think the google translation is sufficient to show notability. Another example of why we need either to require WP:BEFORE or stop this nominator from nominating articles for deletion. The first might take a long time to get consensus on, DGG ( talk ) 00:37, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This article is written by a student in my course. I've asked him and his colleagues to provide better sources to help with notability, but any help from the community will be also appreciated. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:51, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Enough WP:RS, when Korean sources are considered. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:02, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
