Since the International Cinephile Society does not appear to be notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, it is unlikely that any of the drafts you have created will be, and if you move them to article space they are likely to be deleted. Do you intend to move them to article space, or are you expecting to just keep them indefinitely as userspace sandbox pages?

 * Hello - As you can see I'm new here and still learning the ropes. My impression was that the deletion of the old International Cinephile Society pages was because at that time the organization was perhaps too small to be considered notable, or maybe whoever created the pages hadn't provided adequate references. I've cited (or will be citing, lol, since I'm still learning Wikipedia's styles and markup) quite a few solid references for this type of film awards group, including Variety, Indiewire, Micropsia, La Nacion, Le Monde, Alt Film Guide, Altyazi, Ioncinema, etc. This seems consistent with references provided by the Online Film Critics Society, San Francisco Film Critics, and Broadcast Film Critics, except that the ICS article is more international in flavor. Sorry to be taking so long with my sandbox pages, but I'm trying to put together a complete set of pages with proper links before submitting them for consideration by you and other editors. Is this the right procedure? Do you feel that the group's notability is still in question? They've grown to about 100 members, including well-known critics and scholars from both the US/Canada and Europe, and the website they created in 2010 now has extensive film festival coverage, plus over 450 film reviews and essays.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:International Cinephile Society, from its old location at User:Shadotall/sandbox/International Cinephile Society. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae  /tlk  14:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
