Planet in Focus

Tagged on notability grounds in 2011. I can't find anything to really show how notable this festival is, and can't see any other way to go than deletion. Cloudbound (talk) 22:35, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

*Delete It is mentioned in Financial Post, and lots of non-RS show it as a long-running public-spirited environmental-festival that does good work but receives no real media attention. No small wonder the environment is seen as in peril. No media yes. Maybe if they had sponsorship from Coca Cola or Ford Motors.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 08:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC) Struck. See below
 * Keep I'm very surprised to find myself on the opposite side of Michael when he !votes delete, but I disagree that there aren't enough reliable sources in these Gnews search results to get by. This, for example is an item about the festival -- not a full article, but an RS -- in the Toronto Star, Canada's largest circulation daily. Here we have an article in Reelscreen, trade journal for Canada's documentary film sector. Torontoist has covered the fest, here. There's enough to meet WP:GNG, surely. Maybe the problem is simply the suggested search terms. Search for "Planet in Focus" + "Film festival," as I did. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:21, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've used the Star and Torontoist ref to verify some statements. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:37, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * keep per meeting WP:GNG and thus WP:ORG. Happy to reverse myself. Apparently my google-foo was temporarily broken.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 12:39, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Great. I'll work on it too. I also want to make sure that this doesn't happen to this article. I didn't see it when it happened but it's a classic case of WP:NOTPAPER and it pretty much ensures that the article on the even more notable Hot Docs fest in Toronto will remain a stub.

 * Keep per 's improvements. It meets GNG per the reliable sources found.   Jim  Car  ter  20:23, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
