The result was delete. The keep !votes appear to me to mostly be based in a misconception that the Marché du Film is the same as the Cannes Film Festival, and as such I am giving them lower weight. Stifle (talk) 12:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail

WP:NFILM. Not convinced that the nomination for the award listed is enough for notability requirements, which may be why this was tagged for notability earlier in October 2022. DonaldD23 talk to me 11:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

*Comment Seeing this page came to know that of course the makers of this movie are not notable, but by reading all its new sources, this movie seems notable and this movie has also won the Cannes Film Festival in Marché du Film Award so I think keep 🦁 Lionfox 🏹 0909 (talk) 15:59, 31 October 2022 (UTC) Strike Sockpuppet DonaldD23 talk to me 21:41, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, it didn't win the award...it was just nominated. DonaldD23 talk to me 17:41, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also to clarify further, it wasn't even nominated for an "award" — it was just selected for screening in a program at a film distributors' market, which isn't the same thing at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This film is highly notable as it was in India's top five films for the year 2022 to be sent for

  • Weak keep per above mentioned award. Sources here and here. DareshMohan (talk) 08:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - minor "award", which is not truly an award, but a promotional thing by the Cannes festival. Does not meet either

  • Keep as film that won an international award along with the significant coverage posted by by

No, it wasn't. The Cannes Film Market isn't the same thing as the Cannes Film Festival; the festival's awards are notable while the market's "awards" (which aren't really awards at all) are not. Bearcat (talk) 14:19, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: I stand corrected. I still find it notable enough. And GNG applies. Shahid • Talk2me 13:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's quite common for filmmakers to falsely conflate the Cannes Film Market with the Cannes Film Festival so that they can claim in their marketing materials to have won or been nominated for awards at Cannes, but it's deceptive and inaccurate: the
    WP:NFILM-clinching award. So obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it's actually released to the general public and getting reviewed by professional film critics, but simply being selected for a screening lineup at a distributors' market does not constitute an "award nomination" for the purposes of claiming "film notable because award".

Relisting comment: "keep" opinions based on a supposed award are clearly off-base and GNG would need to be met here, but some plausible coverage has been provided; discussion of this would be helpful.
