DPIFF awards and DPIFF were AFDed back in August 2019 and December 2019. There is also a Draft: Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival created in January 2020. Another option is to merge some of the verbiage to Dadasaheb Phalke Award AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:05, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguate
 * It is clearly mentioned in the article that this is different from the Dadasaheb Phalke Award.
 * Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival is a organisation which does Award function twice in a year.
 * It was earlier nominated for deletion due to lack of content but now it is well adequate with the content.
 * This page should be created on wikipedia to let others know that Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival is different from the official Dadasaheb Phalke Award which will help avoid major confusion. User:abhialmish —Preceding undated comment added 17:27, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * The film festival article does not need a disambiguation. It has a different enough name not to confuse. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The previous articles were not deleted because they lacked content, or because they were similarly named to another article. They were only deleted because the subject of the article was not notable. For more information, kindly read: WP:Notability. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:53, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

‘’’Keep’’’ I believe this article is suitable for the inclusion on Wikipedia as it is created by me after a thorough research on news, web, television, social media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parvati.sunder (talk • contribs) 17:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt Clear from the last few noms this is a non-notable festival using the name of a figure who has died and the award named in their honor to market their non-notable knockoff film fest; the 'not to be confused' in this case seems very intentional to confuse everyone. A ping of since they seem experienced with this issue.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 20:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt - No evidence of any notability for this relatively new film festival which I previously nominated for deletion and where the decision was Delete. The refs all appear to be based on press releases. Nothing substantial found in searches. Very high probability of COI authorship and of socking. Fails WP:GNG.

 * 'Delete and salt per nom and the above.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:14, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * delete and salt: the festival is still not notable. Also per my own comments at both the previous AfD's. Especially at this AfD. While we are at it; kindly delete, and salt Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly not notable as of yet. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 11:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * comment: both the non-delete voters have been blocked for sock puppetry. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as G5. -- Java Hurricane  05:45, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * its been a while. I think we should let the AfD run its course to prove the festival as non-notable, to cement the fact. We can use the G5s next time. I have a doubt there would be many. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I attempted to G5 G4 this twice, but the editor undid it multiple times and it wasn't clear this was identical to the previous versions since a seemingly different editor had written it up, different from the one pushing it into the mainspace and stopping the G5s. (this was before both were sock blocked) You also may want to consider the version HERE that was posted before I reorganized it into a more sensible paragraph.

 * hi. G4 is for recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion, and G5 is for any page created by previously blocked/banned user. Similarity is required for G4. But under G5, even an article passing GNG, created for first time can be deleted under —usernamekiran (talk) 21:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , you're right. I meant G4. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:49, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - Please see WP:DADASAHEB, excerpt: the Dadasaheb Phalke Award is a sub-award of the Indian government's National Film Awards. It is essentially a lifetime achievement award honouring a person's "outstanding contribution to the growth and development of Indian cinema". (Disclosure, I wrote this content.) There are a number of award mills that use Phalke's name to bestow awards. That doesn't mean they are notable. It's likely just a cash grab like most award mills, and in most cases, the media is actually confused by the Dada Saheb name, some outlets failing to distinguish between the knock-offs and the established award, and I think these mills count on that confusion. I highly recommend that anyone else voting see the write-up at WP:DADASAHEB. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:00, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
