CWRU Film Society Science Fiction Marathon

Not a notable event. Unable to find more than routine coverage, doesn't meet the standard of the notability guideline or GNG. Bestagon ⬡ 19:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

 * In the process of adding sources. Many of the earlier articles that provide the history and background are on print due to the age of the event. It was covered by sources ranging from the campus newspaper to sources such as The Plain Dealer, Cleveland.com, the Youngstown Vindicator, and in several college books as a feature of the university. Unfortuantely, several of the print sources there are physical copies of on display are in access-limited archives that require local library access (in progress).

 * Merge to Case Western Reserve University. No standalone article required, WP:N. 162 etc. (talk) 19:47, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep This does not seem to fit into the Case Western Reserve University page with the level of detail that is available. Other traditions without pages are mentioned in merely a passing sentence whereas this event has happened independent from any interaction with the University administration and is student-run with the support of a community of longtime attendees. More sources have been added and even more are turning up so the sourcing is available. There are no related topics within the university itself so adding the required detail to explain and document the event would cause an imbalance in the page for CWRU however creating a separate page makes more sense to give it a link for people who want to learn more. Reading the guidelines for whether to create a standalone page at WP:PAGEDECIDE and the fact that several other comparable events have pages including Boston Science Fiction Film Festival and Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival among others, it seems that an article for CWRU Film Society Science Fiction Marathon would make sense as opposed to a section on the CWRU page or any other page that currently exists. It could be said that this page should be edited to be about both the organization that holds the event and the event itself, The CWRU Film Society. If that is the case, the article can be changed and sources can be added to reflect that. Mjc243 (talk) 21:06, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that this doesn't seem to fit into the Case Western Reserve University page and should have its own article; as noted the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival gets its own page, as do several other Film Festivals that provide less citations and haven't been around as long as this one. The category for Science Fiction Film Festivals show a good amount of Film Festivals, and and a lack of digital sources shouldn't be a reason to say it isn't significant.

 * comment the marathon claim, if it can be backed up by more than a single link, seems like it would be a pretty good reason for a distinct page? Artw (talk) 02:00, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
