The result was delete. The keep !votes appear to me to mostly be based in a misconception that the Marché du Film is the same as the Cannes Film Festival, and as such I am giving them lower weight. Stifle (talk) 12:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Bailadila (film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to fail WP:NFILM. Not convinced that the nomination for the award listed is enough for notability requirements, which may be why this was tagged for notability earlier in October 2022. Donald D23  talk to me  11:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

*Comment Seeing this page came to know that of course the makers of this movie are not notable, but by reading all its new sources, this movie seems notable and this movie has also won the Cannes Film Festival in Marché du Film Award so I think keep 🦁 Lionfox 🏹 0909 (talk) 15:59, 31 October 2022 (UTC) Strike Sockpuppet Donald D23   talk to me  21:41, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, it didn't win the award...it was just nominated. Donald D23   talk to me  17:41, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also to clarify further, it wasn't even nominated for an "award" — it was just selected for screening in a program at a film distributors' market, which isn't the same thing at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep This film is highly notable as it was in India's top five films for the year 2022 to be sent for Marché du Film Award Under the ‘NFDC Film Bazaar Goes to Cannes’ segment so I believe keeping this article will be a good decision.Khorang  18:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - Being nominated for an international award does make a film somewhat notable, though a more significant basic coverage other than the nomination would have been better. Insight 3 (talk) 14:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per above mentioned award. Sources here and here. DareshMohan (talk) 08:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - minor "award", which is not truly an award, but a promotional thing by the Cannes festival. Does not meet either WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 17:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep as film that won an international award along with the significant coverage posted by by User:DareshMohan. This allows it to get slightly past the WP:GNG threshold.  Frank   Anchor  14:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep shortlisted at Cannes (!). Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  11:29, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't. The Cannes Film Market isn't the same thing as the Cannes Film Festival; the festival's awards are notable while the market's "awards" (which aren't really awards at all) are not. Bearcat (talk) 14:19, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bearcat: I stand corrected. I still find it notable enough. And GNG applies. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  13:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: "keep" opinions based on a supposed award are clearly off-base and GNG would need to be met here, but some plausible coverage has been provided; discussion of this would be helpful. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 17:36, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's quite common for filmmakers to falsely conflate the Cannes Film Market with the Cannes Film Festival so that they can claim in their marketing materials to have won or been nominated for awards at Cannes, but it's deceptive and inaccurate: the Marché du Film is a private sales event for film distributors to look at films they might or might not want to purchase, and does not represent either a public screening or an WP:NFILM-clinching award. So obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it's actually released to the general public and getting reviewed by professional film critics, but simply being selected for a screening lineup at a distributors' market does not constitute an "award nomination" for the purposes of claiming "film notable because award".
