Relist following a no-consensus closure back in November. This is still an advertorialized article, created by the subject's own colleague in violation of our conflict of interest rules, about a filmmaker who has no strong claim to passing WP:CREATIVE. The notability claims here entail awards from the non-notable small fry and/or "buy yourself a fake award for public relations purposes" classes of film festivals, not from major notability-conferring film festivals on the order of Toronto or Sundance or Berlin or Cannes, and the amount of media coverage that TheDomain added at the time of the original discussion is not enough to get the subject over WP:GNG: the stuff that's substantively about Tom Simes is entirely local to his own hometown, while the stuff that expands beyond the purely local all just glancingly namechecks his existence in the process of being about other people he worked with. So this simply is not sourced well enough to get Tom Simes over GNG, but nothing claimed in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG on the sourcing.

• Delete. Per nomination; nothing here that is notable; unknown films winning un-notble awards. Britishfinance (talk) 20:05, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. Subject is not notable. Skirts89 (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: per nomination, total failure of all criteria at WP:FILMMAKER, doesn't appear to meet the requisite significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to pass generally either. SITH (talk) 09:45, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
