Subject does not appear to have received non-trivial coverage by multiple independent reliable sources. Article contains no sources of its own (after 10 years), and an Internet search turns up Twitter, Facebook, IMDb, etc. KDS4444^Talk 01:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now as this is a questionably notable local festival. BTW, Northamerica1000, you may want to know I was typing this as you relisted (edit conflict). SwisterTwister talk 02:14, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a public relations platform on which every film festival that exists gets to keep a profile for promotional purposes — which is indeed at least partially what's going on here, as the article has been extensively edited in the past by User:ReelHeART. But the reliable source coverage needed to support an encyclopedia article about it simply isn't there — on both Google News and ProQuest, it only gets passing hits on mentions of its name in articles about films that have screened at it, and isn't the subject of any coverage that I can locate besides its own self-published press releases on PRWeb. This is not how a film festival gets a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 21:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
