Independent Film Quarterly

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This doesn't appear to be notable. The only independent non user-edited source is the IndieWire piece, which is about the festival not the magazine. Guy (help!) 17:31, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Missvain (talk) 18:59, 30 January 2020 (UTC) - was discussed in 2008 Articles for deletion/New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. 2019 moved to new title see Talk:Independent_Film_Quarterly. 260 links to the article []. Found this discussion because of Marius Hansen which has a Norwegian source [] claiming "I 53 år har New York Festivals" (for 53 years) and that it was the Oscar of radio. The source is reliable, but the article is not about the festival and age of festival might have been taken for granted. Was the move from an article about a festival awarding prices to an article about a magazine a good idea? According to this version [] the magazine was not the only organizer of the festival. From the article history a lot of sources seems to be added and removed over the years, but I have not checked the content of these sources. If 53 years is correct managing to stay afloat for that long indicates relevans due to age alone. Reliable sources is needed though. regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 08:54, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Tried to search the University libraries in Norway and get quite a few mentions for the film festival. Finding basis for the critisism mentioned in the article (Deussing, Ryan. "Fest and Loose." The Village Voice, Nov 04, 1997, pp. 88. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/232203464?accountid=14699.) 1997 seems to be the first mention. Seems to be a lot of mentions in connection with someone getting an award. Is called "The largest Indie festival in the world" in this list of festivals: "Spotlight on Film Festivals: Film Festival Listing." Back Stage East, vol. 48, no. 31, 2007, pp. 24-25. ProQuest. Can't find a connection to the magazine. My library account gives access to a lot, but does not contain much newspapers. Seems if this should be kept it should be moved back to being an article about the film festival and the magazine should be written out of the article. Unless someone actually can find sources confirming that the magazine (and/or others) have anything to do with the festival. regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 10:20, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry there was a bit too many lookalike festival names here. This was difficult to search for. Marius Hansen mentions New York Festivals International Radio Programming and Promotion Awards, but the source mentiones International Radio Programming & Promotion Awards in New York. Using the last name to search with I find the article "NY Radio Festival Prepares for Awards." Back Stage (Archive: 1960-2000), vol. 23, no. 52, Dec 24, 1982, pp. 41. ProQuest, which says: "The International Radio Festival of New York, the worldwide awards competition for radio advertising, progamming an promotion, ... The Radio Festival, which was inaugurated in 1982 as an outgrowth of the International Film & TV Festival of New York (now in its 26th year), ...  ". This festival does not seem to have an article. --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 11:41, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
