This article was previously deleted as a result of Articles for deletion/Norwich Film Festival, and later re-created by the same author, who has a conflict of interest, having referred to the festival in the first person. The re-created version does no more than the one discussed in the previous AfD discussion. 7 of the 8 cited sources are: 3 pages on the festival's own site; 2 pages (one of them a blog) on the site of the publishers of a film that tells us it won an award at the festival, and says nothing else about the festival; another page that does no more than mention that the same film won an award; a dead link. That leaves just one genuine third party source with significant coverage, at this BBC page. However, even that one is just for the local Norfolk branch of the BBC, not the national BBC, and that one source alone is not nearly enough to establish notability under Wikipedia guidelines. My own searches have also failed to produce significant coverage in any independent reliable source. Although it is not by itself a reason for deletion, it is also worth noting that the article was written for promotional purposes. The author of the article actually stated that he/she intended the article to help the festival in "gaining publicity". JamesBWatson (talk) 14:33, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - without prejudice to recreation in the future if it becomes notable. There's some local coverage, but that's it. -- Whpq (talk) 16:14, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
