Martha's Vineyard Film Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seeking consensus. There is a fair amount of coverage in Boston-area publications such as WBUR and The Boston Globe, but a lot of it (e.g., ) seems like WP:ROUTINE announcements of festival lineups or similar. It is not clear to me that this festival has heft comparable to Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, etc.—especially since I don't see coverage in trade journals like the The Hollywood Reporter that would indicate industry prominence. But it might squeak by WP:NEVENT/WP:GNG with some not insignificant local-ish coverage. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:45, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. I found 173 hits on Google news, and two on Google scholar. Most hits are announcements about what will be shown (remember newspapers are produced to be of use to their readers, and in general telling them what they could do is more useful than telling them what they could have done if only they had known).  Nevertheless, there are enough stories about what did happen to meet the requirement for significant coverage. -- Toddy1 (talk) 07:46, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
