This article about a Finnish filmmaker was speedied by me per WP:CSD#A7, but afterwards the editor who created the page said that many of his works had been aired nationally on TV in his home country, which would make him possibly notable. The following sources were provided as support for this claim: [1], [2]. Since there is a plausible claim of notability I'm bringing it for AfD comment. Personally I have no opinion whether this is deleted or not. Pegasus «C¦T» 11:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep There are not many foreign documentary filmmakers in Finland that have achieved their films to be broadcasted on YLE. He is also one of the few in last 15 years bulgarians, he is from bulgarian nationality, that had been funded to make long documentaries. Jovchev (talk) 17:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Tonislav Hristov was one of the people who presented his country at "Bulgaria By DocPoint" with "My brother Fedja" (2006) at Kiasma Museum of Conteporary Art in Helsinki. He was the only one to give a short interview live after the documentary, which certainly made a difference to the audience. todorv 22:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.31.33 (talk)

Keep I recall some of Tonislav's films were screened at some very serious festivals, such as the "Bulgaria by DocPoint" section of the DocPoint Helsinki Film Festival, as well as in the Documentaries section of the Cork Film Festival in 2005 [3], also the the Calgary International Film Festival 2006, and the Helsinki International Film Festival Love & Anarchy, [4] which is the biggest film festival in Finland. His films were also listed at least once in the Annual Documentary Catalog of the Finnish Film Foundation (2008) [5] and in the Annual Finnish Short Film Catalog of the same for 2006 [6]. I also recall him being screened in Berlin in summer 2006, but can't find the reference for the moment. Anyway, while he is not a celebrity (which is hardly a surprise for a documentary director), he is quite certainly noteworthy. Bbugg (talk) 14:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep. Notability in Europe is sufficient. This isn't the Americapedia. Doczilla (talk) 01:13, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
