Non-notable awards given by non-notable organization. otherlleft 13:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nom, I cannot find significant coverage for this organization or its awards. Delete all articles about the awards and the organization itself. Angryapathy (talk) 14:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Obviously, just like the Academy Awards, the only coverage you're going to see is when nominees and winners are announced. Before writing the organization and the awards off as non-notable, I need more information. I'm not an expert in the field, but if any of the people listed as members in the main article are truly experts that just happen to not have a link WP article, then this can be notable (similarly to the famous member clause for bands). Besides, those awards aren't given out by random people, they're experts in the field. Could do with more independent sources, but the nom apparently never tried to find those. - Mgm|(talk) 10:06, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for assuming good faith on my diligence - there are six related articles, and I did try to find reliable sources. I would have added them had I found them.--otherlleft 16:54, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete People, people. Are you seriously doubting the validity of the IFMCA and its members? I cannot understand the lack of any arguments whatsoever and put your comments in a logical and mature context no matter how hard i tried. If you are in any way actually involved with the film music area, you'd be already very well familar with the websites, magazines, webzines, blogs and organizations we represent such as: BSO Spirit (directly attached and responsible for the UBEDA film festivals, the highly successful and highly popular event amidst the circle of film music composers and professionals who also attend each year), Music From the Movies which is one of the oldest, boldest and still leading film music publications and sources, Soundtrack Net and ScoringSessions.com, possibly the most popular film music website after filmtracks, speaking of which - filmtracks itself, the most well-known film music destination for years, scoremagacine (head and organization committee of the highly popular and CD-released SONCINEMAD Madrid International Film Music festivals that took place in 2006 and 2007 with Trevor Jones and Alan Silvestri in concerts respectively, still continuing with future plans), TrackSounds one of the most active and varicolored major film music destinations to date and also one of the oldest and still strong and the same applies to scorereviews - maintitles.net, the bold Movie Music UK and of course the no.1 film music related website / releasing label and institution in the world, FSM (Film Score Monthly (USA), Ryan Keaveney's Cinemusic, easily one of the 'classics' in the film music modern history, more labels likeBSX, one of the leads in the film music releasing industry and of course the MovieScore Media that does a fantastic job promoting and releasing new and notable film music from upcoming bright talents in the genre, Southall's moviewave, filmmusicmag.com and other major film music websites, radios, and 'zines / publications of all kinds involving extremely well-knon professionals of the industry from the ENTIRE WORLD. I won't tire you with more copy-pastes, you can find it all here (http://filmmusiccritics.org/members/ - IFMCA's about page). THE ARGUMENTS PRESENTED ABOVE ARE UNFORTUNATELY UNJUSTIFIED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR IN A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA WHICH GATHERS AND LISTS INFORMATIVE DATA FROM THE ENTIRE WORLD. I really hope this matter will be taken into account and be taken care of the soonest possible as it's an insult to the organization and their members, who constitute a significant percentage of the film music population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christodoulidesd (talk • contribs) 08:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC) — Christodoulidesd (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
