Non-notable short film. No explanation as to what the Hollywood DV Festival is nor why an award from them would be notable. No independent sources. Woogee (talk) 06:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the original editor has a habit of removing afd tags. Woogee (talk) 06:15, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & redirect to Christine Shin, as the film does not yet have sorcable notability. I did clean up the article somewhat... so if can be sourced to show that it has been in a festival 5 years after initial release, I would be glad to reconsider my !vote.

- Note The then MiniDV Festival has an interesting history, and might itself merit an article. They began in 2003 as "Pure Digital/Video Film Festival". In 2004 they changed their name to "Mini DV Festival" (Journey's win year). In 2005 they changed to "Pure DV & HD Festival". In 2007 they changed to "Hollywood DV Festival". In 2008 they changed to "Hollywood DV & HD Festival". And now they are called "Hollywood MiniDV Festival". Seems they've been having an identity crisis... but there's lots of search options.

Merge and Redirect to Christine Shin, per Michael Q. Schmidt. Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/My Fake Husband, although references for this one seem to be harder to find. I have found the press pack for this film ([1]), which does verify most of the information in this article, but it isn't independent and couldn't be considered entirely reliable. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 02:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Shameless self-promotion. Can't find independent sources. Racepacket (talk) 05:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I an unaware of any evidence showing that the author was Christine Shin, and even though the article now belongs to Wikipedia, I do not see how "shameless self-promotion" applies. However, since the filmmaker's article has assertions of notability through WP:ANYBIO and awards, I have included information about this film there. A redirect would serve to delete as you wish and yet send readers someplace where the subject is dealt with in context to the filmmaker. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:14, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
