Rotterdam Film Festival 2002 Main Program Short

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced article about just the short film program at one year's individual iteration of a film festival that doesn't otherwise have any sibling articles for other years, or any parent article for the rest of the 2002 program. This isn't really demonstrating any particular reason why the short film program would be of any special notability over and above the rest of that year's festival lineup, but there's no article about the feature film selections at all -- nor is it demonstrating any reason why the 2002 short film program would be of greater notability than the 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 or 2022 short film programs, none of which have articles either. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if somebody with access to 20-year-old Dutch sourcing can convert this into a properly sourced and comprehensive article about the entire 2002 Rotterdam Film Festival lineup, like the ones we have for festivals such as Venice, Berlin, Cannes and TIFF (and even for Rotterdam itself in 2021 and 2022, but not any other year yet) -- but if nobody can do that, the short film program doesn't have any special value all by itself. In the same week this was created back in 2015, the creator did attempt the same thing for Clermont-Ferrand (where, to be fair, the short film program is the festival, unlike Rotterdam), but that got deleted within days per Articles for deletion/Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2002 Official Competition Selection and nobody's ever tried anything similar since.
