- Duet (2006 film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
I can find no evidence in reliable sources providing notability criteria. There are links showing that it was shown at several film festivals, but as it didn't seem to win any awards at those festivals, this isn't enough to prove notability.

- Delete. While there are some external links at the bottom of the er, "article," it still seems to fall short of the WP:MOVIE bar. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 19:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep While I just improved the article through cleanup, and it is now encyclopedic, it needs Iranian sources to which I have no access. I could only do so much with English, but am willing to accept that such sources may exist. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Question Was there any sort of editorial decisions on any of the listed festivals? If the film was officially selected to appear because organizers saw it (rather than the film being submitted) it might just scrape by in the notability department. If the director is notable, it would meet WP:NF for having significant involvement of a notable person, but I'm questioning the notability of that person more than the film at the moment. -- Mgm|(talk) 10:57, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The notability of a film and the notability of its director are two separate issues. A notable director can have non-notable films if there is no independent coverage in reliable sources. Simply having a showing in a film festival is generally not sufficient (with the rare exception in which the film has won an award) as there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of film festivals every year (it seems there is about a dozen in the Miami, Florida, area, for example - how notable is the one that's going on there this week? I don't know). Press releases in themselves are not considered reliable sources by Wikipedia standards, but independent (non-blog) coverage of them is. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 15:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
