Merge

I think all festivals listed in Template:Ale Kino! International Young Audience Film Festival should be merged here and the template deleted. It seems doubtful most if any of the editions have stand alone notability (see Wikipedia:Notability (events). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:47, 23 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Not notable because targeted at a young audience? Couldn't disagree more. Established in 1969, awarded by a professional jury, it is an ECFA-recognized, international festival with ~14.000 spectators and at least national media coverage.^[1] We even have individual articles on many of the award winning movies. Events in Poland are not less notable than events in the UK or the US, even if not covered by English-language sources.
Secondly, merging detailed individual years' articles into the award's main article won't work. With some years being covered in detail, the article would be overly long, overly detailed and unbalanced. If you want articles such as the 33rd Ale Kino! Festival to disappear, then you have to nominate them for deletion per WP:AfD. --PanchoS (talk) 14:26, 23 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. I don't know if being an author I have a right to vote. But what is wrong with this festival in compare with the others ? Many important films, nominated and rewarded with significant awards have taken part in it, so it means it is not that unsignificant, is it ? (Kyleall (talk) 17:45, 27 June 2016 (UTC))Reply
- You are of course welcome to vote and comment, but I am afraid WP:ITSIMPORTANT is not a valid rationale. Since PanchoS suggested AfD, I'll sadly have to take one of those articles there. We will see how it fares, and then we can reconsider this merge. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
