Non-notable biography that pretty much relies on IMDB for information. There is practically nothing about this person that is online outside of general social media and listing of filmography. Despite one film being linked, even the sources for that film don't go into detail about this person. This is simply a non-notable person. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:58, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To whom it may concern, my name is Daniela Benhamou- I've been following Toni Comas, and I can confirm that he is currently in the final stages of completing his feature film, "Silent Notes," which features Daniel Durant, known for his role in the Oscar award-winning movie "Coda." Comas's work has garnered significant attention and recognition in the film industry, supported by various articles in major publications.

To validate the significance of Toni Comas's work, one need only perform a quick Google search using the keywords "Toni Comas Indiana." This search will yield numerous results from official publications that showcase his achievements and contributions to the world of cinema. Notably, Toni Comas has refrained from self-promotion on social media, relying instead on the merit of his work to speak for itself.

One of Comas's notable achievements is his film "Indiana," which was featured on the list of "100 horror Movies That Must Be Seen" by the esteemed critic Quim Cases. Furthermore, some of the most respected newspapers in Spain, such as El Pais, El Periodico, ABC, and El Mundo, have published positive reviews about Comas's work, underscoring his impact on the Spanish film industry.

In addition to critical acclaim, the Fantasia Film Festival has recognized Comas's film "Indiana" by naming it "The Movie of the Year" in their review, further solidifying his place as a noteworthy filmmaker in the world of cinema. With a commitment to quality and an emphasis on letting his work do the talking, Toni Comas has become a respected figure in the film industry, earning recognition and praise from critics and publications alike.

In addition to his accomplishments in the world of cinema, Toni Comas has also established a personal and creative relationship with Nobel Prize-winning writer Svetlana Alexievich. This unique connection served as a wellspring of inspiration for Comas, ultimately leading to the creation of the film "Chernobyl, 1986." 96.250.207.128 (talk) 17:19, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And no sources provided. This IP has a close connection to the subject just by searching the name provided and resembles a COI that helps reflect the lack of meeting the merits of notability and inclusion of this article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:35, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some links for you to consider.

1- "...is a near-perfect example of how to make a great low-key independent horror film."

http://dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/2017-fantasia-film-festival-dispatch-6/

2- In this article from "El periodico" one of the larges news papers from Spain Toni Comas is compared to Renoir, Lubitsch o Lang

"... Y como en su época la tuvieron Renoir, Lubitsch o Lang, sabe ofrecer la mirada del 'extranjero' sobre la compleja realidad estadounidense."

https://www.elperiodico.com/es/ocio-y-cultura/20180607/critica-indiana-toni-comas-6863217

3- In this article from "La Vanguardia" the larger news paper in some regions of Spain, they mention the influence of Hitchkock and Lynch in Toni Comas work.

"...Aunque el Hitchcock de "Con la muerte en los talones" es un referente visual claro en la escena de los maizales, Toni Comas confiesa que le gusta David Lynch por "cómo maneja la imagen y los tiempos",

4- This is one of the few reviews found in roten tomatoes. Toni Comas is compared to a movie of John Huston

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/indiana

"Indiana" is a road movie with similar textures as "Sangre Sabia," the exceptional, strange, and supernatural film by John Huston. It argues that what's between us is nothing, but nothing bad.

5- Modern Horros says talking about the mocie Indiana in the Fantasia film festivel "The beautiful thing about film festivals such as Fantasia is that it allows for the discovery of a hidden gem that often goes overlooked. Toni Comas’ debut feature is that sleeper film of the festival."

6- In this article the film of Toni Comas is compated to the film Shyamalan.

These are just reviews of a film. That does not establish notability about Toni Comas because there is very little reference or mention of him. None of these are about him. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:57, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting. We don't need links to reviews of his films but to articles ON or ABOUT him. Don't say "Google this", it's the responsibility of those editors arguing to Keep an article to bring them into the discussion.

Delete: Some coverage in Gbooks about a WW2 person with this name, nothing for a film person. I can't find coverage. The mentions of his films are fine, but we need articles that talk about the individual, not about stuff they've done. Oaktree b (talk) 13:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not looked at this at all, but if he is a director wouldn't reviews of his films count under WP:CREATIVE? Espresso Addict (talk) 05:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews of a movie are about the movie. In what way is it entirely about the filmmaker? It's not. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:23, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
