Stripy

• Comment: There is a valid claim to notability which is under WP:GNG rather than WP:NFILM It is " it was also part of the 2015 Animation show of shows, notably being the first Iranian animated short to be screened in US theaters, making it elgible to participate in the academy awards, no other animated short from Iran has been screened in US theaters since. Stripy is the first Iranian animated short to qualify for the academy awards."

• Comment: For my decline rationale, see User talk:Timtrent#declined article. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:39, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Passing mentions are not useful references. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 07:21, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
