No significant independent coverage to be found for this student-run film festival. It may be the oldest student-run film festival (there is no evidence to support this claim) but is that even a valid claim to notability? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:54, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: The 2000 book The Film Festival Guide: For Filmmakers, Film Buffs, and Industry Professionals has an entry for this festival. See screenshot here. It does not seem like the San Francisco Chronicle or the Times Standard, relatively close, cover the festival, though. Maybe redirect to Arcata, California with a sentence there about the festival?

 * Comment Fixed your link to Arcata, California. I'm not sure if a redirect to Arcata or to Humboldt State University is more appropriate, as the festival appears to be a student-run activity of that school, and offers academic credit for submitted student films.

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG.  The name of the festival is mentioned in a number of sources, but I was unable able to locate any details about the festival in secondary sources. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:31, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Humboldt State University where it can have a small section, not independently notable. Atlantic306 (talk) 22:22, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. It sure is a commendable event, as far as us cinephiles are concerned but Wikipedia is not a willy nilly overview of cinematic information. The content is shaped by rules about notability and encyclopaedic content. Searching for verifiable evidence of independent notability, online or in books, turns up very little. -The Gnome (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
