Article about a short film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFO. The only notability claim on offer here is that it won a student film award, which would be fine if the film were properly sourced as having the media coverage to pass WP:GNG, but the only reference here is the award's own self-published press release. As always, "film notable because award" does not just automatically accept every single film award that exists -- it requires awards on the level of the Oscars, the AACTAs, the BAFTAs, the CSAs or an elite tier of internationally prominent film festivals which get media coverage, and does not extend notability freebies based on awards that have to be metareferenced to themselves because media coverage is lacking.
As I don't have access to any databases in which I could retrieve 20-year-old Australian media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to such resources can find the media coverage needed to salvage this -- but a student film award is not "inherently" notable enough to get a film into Wikipedia if a primary source press release is the only source it has.

Delete I do have access to 20+ year old media coverage and the only articles I could find were in The Macleay Argus (Kempsey regional newspaper); and two editions of the Australian Screen Education newsletter. Agree with nom: fails WP:NFO, WP:GNG. Cabrils (talk) 00:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
