Children of Mini-Japan[edit]

This won an "encouragement" prize from one festival and an award from another, redlinked festival, but it has never had any sources or inbound links. Guy (Help!) 22:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why? It's a Tamil film. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Because it has the word "Japan" in it? -- Taku (talk) 14:20, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm unsure. Aren't films usually considered notable? (maybe not made-to-TV films but theatrically released ones.) We have a lot of articles about commercially or critically failed movies. Winning award is not necessary for the establishing notability. -- Taku (talk) 03:47, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice if the nominator had linked to the relevant film notability guidelines. It looks to me like it passes, barely, based on criteria 2c, so keep, but I'd be a lot happier if there was better sourcing for verification purposes -- particularly that claim of wide critical aclaim. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, given the large holes in Wikipedia's coverage in cultural events outside the English-speaking world, noting that a festival is redlinked is a very weak argument indeed for its non-notability. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep just notable enough. Tovian (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
