- Nominator(s): GeraldWL 17:53, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A short, dynamic list of [self-explanatory]. Latvia has submitted 12 films: eleven are not nominated whilst Dvēseļu putenis is pending as of time of writing. 7 similar articles of different countries are FLs, seeable at WP:FL. I took some stuff from those articles, and modified it. Notifying other major contributor, Lugnuts. GeraldWL 17:53, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If this candidate gets promoted before or during early February, I plan to have this submitted as TFL, to be displayed on Feb 9, or other Februaries. GeraldWL 09:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*The line in the second para "New as the panel head in 2020 is film historian and director of the NFCL, Dita Rietuma" just seems odd. Maybe it's me, but it took me a few attempts to understand it. At first I thought it was a person called New! The source states "Film historian and director of the National Film Centre, Dita Rietuma, was elected to head the panel" so maybe "Dita Rietuma, film historian and director of the NFCL, was elected as the head of the panel in 2020". New/newly will become redundant over time too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you. I took a good look at this list yesterday, and that was the only thing that bothered me. Everything else looks good, per the suggestions from the other users, above. I'd def. support this for a FL. Thanks again. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Lugnuts, thanks! I've collapsed your comments, if you're fine with that.

Answered query towards FLC coordinators and delegates |

====Question to coordinators====
@FLC director and delegates: pardon my impatience, but how exactly is it determined that there is a consensus for a candidate to be promoted? I think all points above have been addressed so I feel like there is a "consensus" that this article is already ready. It's so weird to see a page going silent for days, so I'm just wondering.

Source review –
Forbes contributor pieces, such as ref 1, are treated as blogs and aren't usually considered reliable sources. Unless this appeared in the print version of Forbes, I think we're going to need a better source for that note, which fortunately seems like something you could find pretty easily.- I changed it to an Academy press release, if they are considered reliable. I took it from the Vietnam article, which is a fresh FL, so I don't think there's any problem. GeraldWL 04:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What makes Emerging Europe (ref 6) a reliable source?- They are a business-themed news website quoted by various reliable sources like Forbes, The Guardian, Bloomberg, and WSJ, alongside several researchers. GeraldWL 04:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The formatting looks okay, although I'll note that several of the refs have Wikidata links for their publishers, which I haven't seen before. Not really a huge problem for me, but if Wikipedia articles on those entities are ever created it might make sense to change the links.- Sadly none of them have an article. I'll see if I can make an article on the National Film Center, but I don't have the time to for now. GeraldWL 04:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: Turns out Cineuropa has ill-s. I've changed them. GeraldWL 04:30, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- The link-checker tool shows no problems, and the links have archives, which is always nice. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:26, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Giants2008, thanks! I've responded to your points. GeraldWL 04:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
