[edit] Buffalo International Film Festival
No evidence of notability beyond its own "temporary prototype" web-site and associated blogs & self-publicity sites. No evidence from Google that it has ever held an event. Fails WP:CORP. -- MightyWarrior 17:53, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
This is an active organization and has held events which are noted on the website.
The "temporary prototype website" I happen to know is because the website is being re-designed and the organization doesnt' want to be embarrassed.
The board of the organization is extremely prominent and includes Nobel Prize winners, Academy Award Winners and other.
Whether Google says anything about an event is not as important as local press which has covered it extensively.
The organization is currently supporting many extremely important Theater Preservation and History efforts in the city of Buffalo, New York and is forming aliances with other organizations there as an adjunct to the actual festival. This is noted on the website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Movieresearch (talk • contribs) 22:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
