Talk:2nd Open Russian Festival of Animated Films

This page was proposed for deletion by Piotrus (talk · contribs) on 12 November 2020 with the comment:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies)/Wikipedia:Notability (events) requirements. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. At best this can be redirected to Open Russian Festival of Animated Film. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

I was told to protest the deletion here. As I mentioned there, it is extremely difficult to find online scans of press from that period in Russia to establish notability. But I did find the following from animation historian Larisa Malyukova's 2013 academic book "Sverkhkino", p.301 (302 in the viewable versions of the book here or here), which I believe demonstrates the notability of the 1997 festival. Translating a snippet of it (emphasis my own): ---- In 1997 at the second Open Russian Festival for Animated Film in Tarusa, it was unexpectedly discovered that animation not only had not disappeared from the face of the Russian land (there had even been the idea to stage its national funeral), but, on the contrary, had found the remarkable strength for the strongest creative leap. The festival turned into an unforgettable fireworks display of movie events, new names, genres and styles and visions that would determine the future vectors of development of the art. Against the background of a clearly bewildered and pale [Russian] live-action cinema, sunken in the grip of economic and political turmoil, the animators attracted unprecedented attention. The contemporary animated films were talked about not only on the pages of specialist publications, but on TV as well. Newspapers and magazines of the widest circulation started talking about animation, such as "Kommersant", "Izvestia", "Matador", which had not previously been noted connoisseurs of this soulful art.
