International Random Film Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log )

declined speedy. now having to go through the effort of a full AfD when looks like clear hoax to me. nothing in gnews. and with ridiculous text like: Every year the festival takes place on a randomly selected time, in a random venue. The location is selected by opening wikipedia.org and clicking Random article repeatedly, until reaching a page representing a place with a local population.The date of the Festivals Opening Night is selected by using the True Random Number Generator at random.org.

 * Delete It is not a hoax, well sort of since I don't think it really happens except online. It sounds like a fun idea, but hasn't yet got the attention of the world as shown by zero hits on a Google news archive search. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:30, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I found this here, they actually travelled to the first location and showed the selected films to people on a notebook. http://vimeo.com/16131643 So I guess it is an actual film festival... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.118.9 (talk) 17:50, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as failing WP:N. The claim of being first and oldest, is interesting, as the festival is only just now seeking entries for its second year. If it gains the required notability in the future, an undeletion of the article might be considered.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete because the IRFF is far from notable and is probably a hoax. Funktapus (talk) 17:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Umm...What? All joking aside this clearly fails WP:N. Maybe that will not always be the case, but for now I see no option but deletion. Or perhaps userfy. I do hope they get notability some day, but it should not be by having a WP page. Colincbn (talk) 03:01, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * it was a declined speedy delete. so we are now going through this whole AfD process. LibStar (talk) 03:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it considered acceptable for me to just copy this to a user:sub-page? If I do will I need to remove categories for them to not be included in that catagories lists? Colincbn (talk) 03:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As you have a good faith interest in improving the article off of mainspace, simply ask the closing admin to userfy it to User:Colincbn/International Random Film festival for continued work. This is an reasonable request and may allow an eventual return.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:44, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, I'll do that in hopes it can be returned someday. Colincbn (talk) 04:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Good luck, and feel free to ask for help.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
