Filmbank

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Hard to guess from the essay presented as an article, but the Filmbank is a sub-section of the Dutch organization EYE, http://www.eyefilm.nl/, a filmmuseum in Amsterdam. From what I can gather, the Filmbank is a kind of repository of films viewable on the internet; there's an online shop as well. Searching for "Filmbank" is hard since there's a number of organizations with that name but I can find no evidence that this particular one received any coverage. In addition to the essay-like quality of the article (an essay on experimental film), it seems to serve as a repository for links related to experimental film and movie houses in Dutchland. Not a notable club. Drmies (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and keep This is an odd one, as it is effectively an article on the entire history of Experimental film in the Netherlands but has been given the over-specific title relating to one initiative. I would agree with Drmies that there is no evidence that Filmbank itself merits an article here, however if we look on the actual article content, it is an asset of value for Wikipedia. So I would propose the article be kept but renamed to a title such as "Experimental film in the Netherlands". Were it not at AfD, I'd be bold and make that change, but I'm aware that retitling during process causes problems for the closing admin tools, so I've instead noted that suggestion on the article and talk page.
