Comment: I'm afraid this still doesn't show that Ales Pavlin is notable, that is, whether or not there should be a Wikipedia article about this person. The Wikipedia doesn't have articles about everybody - it's selective. Please read WP:FILMMAKER which explains what the criteria for inclusion are. Basically, there needs to either be significant coverage of the PERSON in multiple reliable, independent sources - not just mentions that he produced a movie but books or newspapers etc actually writing a substantial amount about Ales Pavlin. Or if he has produced multiple films that are notable in themselves - so that are reviewed and written about in a significant way (not just mentions) by multiple, independent reliable sources - then he might be notable because of this. You don't show in this draft that either of these are the case and at the moment I have to decline the draft as it doesn't look as thought he is notable. Lijil (talk) 11:35, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
