Article about a short film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. The only notability claim on offer here is that it exists, and the only source cited is a glancing namecheck of it in an article that provides a broad overview of the lineup of one film festival that it screened at -- but films aren't automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and instead require evidence of awards and/or analytical attention from film critics. But all I can find for coverage is more very brief namechecks such as this and this, providing more cursory confirmation that it exists as a short film but not really bolstering notability by having more than 50 words to say about it.
There's just nothing here that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 12:59, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm finding some bits and pieces review-wise for this. Reviews for short films aren't always the longest, especially if the film itself is pretty short. It does seem to have gotten attention when it released. It's also held in the collections of the Cinémathèque québécoise. It could probably pass on that angle, but I think that combined with the shorter reviews could justify a keep. To be honest though, it would probably be better to have an article on the creator and have this mentioned there along with his other films. There seems to be enough coverage to justify one. It's one of those moments I wish I was still with Wiki Ed since this would have definitely been an article that would've been up the alley of several classes.

There's a French language article at fr:Pascal_Lièvre, if anyone is interested. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:36, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Honestly I am not sure if it deserves to be kept or deleted. I recognize the sources but the notability of it is not there. `~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 22:33, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
