Non-notable film, lacking significant coverage by independent sources as indicated per WP:NF. Inclusion in databases like RadioTimes and IMDb and being included in self-entered award-mill film festival websites does not constitute notability. Coverage needs to be significant, independent, and from a reliable source. BOVINEBOY2008 20:31, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although the article has got very few references but the movie seems notable because as per the article, the movie won several awards. Thanks. Afzlfc (talk) 08:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- None of the awards listed are notable. Not all awards garner the same level of notability, and these awards all seem to be from organizations that do not receive any significant coverage. BOVINEBOY2008 08:21, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also add that the awards are given out on a monthly basis, so this poses an issue as the award isn't very discerning. The submission page gives off the strong impression that it's a vanity award, particularly given the part stating "Trophies are optional, are not included in the submission fee and all Winners may order the trophy by paying production costs and shipping costs." The general rule of thumb is that if you have to pay for your award AND the submission process, it's an awards mill. Most award granting institutions give you the statuette/award for free.

Delete. I tried searching for sourcing, hoping to save this. However there's just not a lot of coverage out there. To be honest, I am also having trouble establishing notability for the director or his other film, C.L.E.A.N.. I'd recommend taking the other film article to AfD and perhaps also the director's article. It's possible that there's more coverage in Croatian that isn't coming up via a search, but I'm leaning towards this likely not being the case given what I've found and the fact that the articles all lean very heavily on establishing notability via vanity awards.
