Filmörnen

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Also included in this nomination:
 * Värmlands Filmförbund

Non-notable local film festival. Google news search brings up zero hits. No evidence of notability outside the area it is held. No secondary sources to verify notability and tagged for lack of them in August of last year. This user created a series of articles on his non-notable film company that won this award but which were deleted last year. I left this article alone to give him chance to prove notability but he hasn't. Therefore, I say it's time to delete it. Redfarmer (talk) 12:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral I agree that both the festival and film association have marginal notability. However, the articles do exist uncontested on Swedish Wikipedia (interwiki links in place), and "Filmörnen" does return 2360 Google hits in Swedish, and 8370 hits overall, and I don't see any POV issues. A possibility would be to streamline the coverage by merging the festival into the association's article to have one article instead of two. Tomas e (talk) 21:32, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that the same user wrote the articles on the Sweedish Wikipedia and did have an extremely POV issue at the time--promoting himself and his film company on Wikipedia. Redfarmer (talk) 23:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources exist for verifiability, and while notability isn't huge, it's a significant regional film festival and worth including in the encyclopedia. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, notability would be the sole criteria we would want to consider here. If notability isn't "huge," it shouldn't have an article. Redfarmer (talk) 09:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
