Non-notable short film, does not meet WP:NFF (there is no commercial release for this title, just minor animation festivals). Warrah (talk) 22:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can find no evidence of notability. No significant 3rd party coverage. Does not come anywhere near satisfying Wikipedia:Notability (films); e.g. "The film is widely distributed and has received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics", "The film has received a major award for excellence", "The film features significant involvement ... by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career", etc etc: this film fails them all by miles. Essentially a spam article by a COI editor (Article written by Fabriceojoubert: director of film is Fabrice O. Joubert.) JamesBWatson (talk) 10:19, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because French Roast has received lots of awards among them the Best of Show Award at the 2009 SIGGRAPH Animation Festival which is not an "minor" award. Specialized press has been talking about the film, among them the "Animation Magazine" which is a reference in the film industry. Moreover, French Roast is now shortlisted among ten films to be nominated for an Academy Award. --Fabriceojoubert (talk) 21:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
