Keep. I do not understand why you want to delete this article. Do a Google search for "Открытый Российский Фестиваль Анимационного Кино 1996" and you will find plenty of news articles talking about the festival in general, as well as the 2018 edition, including mentions of 1996 as the year when it started. It is the most important/only film festival of the domestic Russian animation industry (or at least was that for quite a while). What exactly is so objectionable about Wikipedia providing a public service for researchers into little-known (but notable) niches by giving a breakdown of which films won awards in a given notable film festival in a particular year? If given time, I can probably find contemporary press mentions as well (they certainly would have existed, though I'm not sure if Russian newspapers have online archives going back to 1996). Right now, it's a little difficult as I'm packing for a plane trip... I would ask others to please help if you can, and please use some common sense before putting perfectly useful articles up for deletion... Esn (talk) 08:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
