1st Diorama International Film Festival & Market

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about the first annual running of a new film festival, not properly referenced as notable under our inclusion standards for film festivals. As usual, film festivals can certainly have annual splitouts if they can be properly sourced (see: Cannes, Berlin, Toronto), but this is not just automatically extended to every film festival that exists without considering sourceability or lack thereof. But the sourcing here isn't establishing this film festival as noteworthy, consisting entirely of bad sources like the festival's own self-published website, its own self-published press releases, and non-notable and unreliable blogs, with not a hint of any real coverage about the festival in any real media being shown at all. I'm of course willing to withdraw this if somebody with more skill in reading Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Bengali or Gujarati than I have can find legitimate sources to repair this with, but it's not entitled to keep an article that's being sourced like this.

 * Comment Article would have it seem they only held it in 2019 and nothing since, as there are no updates. I googled, it appears they've held one also in 2020 and maybe 2021, but I could only find 3 articles about it. I doubt this is a notable event. Oaktree b (talk) 01:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, the whole point here is that this article is about the 2019 event itself — coverage of 2020 or 2021 would entail separate articles, not updates to this one. Bearcat (talk) 00:20, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
