Jeevika Film Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear notable. Preliminary searches has only come up with the site itself and the single source clumsily placed in the article. That source is local news and can't establish notability by itself. Nominating instead of CSD as there IS at least a single secondary source available. Jcmcc (Talk) 18:30, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * actual name:
 * short name:
 * sponsor/host:
 * Campaign:
 * And through WP:INDAFD:"Jeevika Film Festival" "Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival" "Centre for Civil Society" "Jeevika Campaign" Jeevika"


 * Keep this relatively new stub by an inexperienced new user. Sorry nominator, but while the article is quite short and lacks proper sourcing, through my own deeper searches it appears that the festival HAS received enough coverage to meet WP:ORG. Needing editorial attention is more a reason to give it to a notable topic than it is to delete it for the lack.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 10:03, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Please understand, I have never heard of Jeevika Film Festival. I would have never known to search "Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival", "Jeevika Campaign" etc. I nominated this In Good Faith. I don't know why you think I have any personal feelings on whether an article gets deleted or not. I just nominate when I see what very much appears to be a non-notable, unsourced, possibly made up subject. For an editor that isn't personally involved in Film (me), it very much passes the duck test for being a deletion-nomination-worthy article. Jcmcc (Talk) 17:38, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Never heard of it myself... but then it even with it going on for some thirteen years, it does not get press in southern California.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 18:52, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, now that I am looking through the various "other names" I still don't see the reliable sources you mentioned. Could you possibly share the "deeper search" results (or sources that you found) for the sake of discussion? I realize it is probably an issue of WP:INDAFD. Jcmcc (Talk) 18:06, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Toward the festival itself, there is Merinews with an authored more-than-trivial article telling us its 10th event was two years ago. Same for Hindustani Times covering its 9th inception the year before. Merinews spoke toward the 9th in some detail as well. Supporting, it is mentioned in a more-than-trivial manner in the multiple reliable sources which speak toward various film which have won its awards.  It's founding "Centre for Civil Society", itself gets enough press to meet WP:ORG... and the festival is their's. And too, under "Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival", it gets more-than-trivial coverage when spoken of in articles about the films which have won awards.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 19:11, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * And... what I have learned is the valuable power of using WP:INDAFD for difficult to Google-search Indian topics because it develops that Google News does not crawl nor index Indian newspaper articles properly.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 19:15, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep I've added a single source, which should help.I think it easily pass WP:GNG. Seems to be a number of varied sources for long running festival available to nipper editor, if he get's around it. It's well established.  14:20, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
