No evidence of any notability for this relatively new film festival. The refs all appear to be based on press releases. Nothing substantial found in searches. Very high probability of COI authorship. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 11:08, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete Similar awards, and film festivals were discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force/Archive 6#Dada Saheb Phalke Award/Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards, which in turn was caused because of the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards. Also to be noted, the film festival awards was speedy deleted for unambiguous advertising/promotion, which was recreated by the same user after two months, and then went to AfD. [...] Given the name of creator of this AfD's article, the chances of COI are very high. As creator of this article is Abhibabamishra (talk · contribs) (baba is a nickname), and according to the promotional article of Abhishek A Mishra, he is the CEO of this film festival. In any case, this film festival is brand-jacking of the most prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award. It does not pass general notability criteria, as it lacks significant coverage. It is clear this "film festival" article was created through COI or UPE in replacement of the deleted "film festival awards" article; clearly for promotional purposes. Wikipedia shouldnt entertain such promotions. —usernamekiran(talk) 20:12, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, usernamekiran laid out the case for deletion quite well, nothing to add. PohranicniStraze (talk) 01:43, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
