Non-notable director with only two films, BEFORE shows no coverage or critical discussion of the person. Could perhaps redirect to "Sparks (film)", his more notable work. While they don't appear in the article, Rotten Tomatoes shows reviews of the film in Village Voice and a few other publications, so it would pass GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 01:04, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I wasn't able to find any in-depth coverage either—just the occasional passing mention in the press. I suppose one could argue that he's notable under WP:NDIRECTOR crit. 3 due to the reviews of his films, but personally I don't find that too compelling: for one thing, those reviews don't discuss the role of Folino himself in enough depth to let us write an encyclopedic article about him, which is ultimately what the notability criteria are all about. And although I'm not averse to a redirect, I'm not convinced it'd be helpful given that Gamers: The Movie and Sparks (film) would both be plausible targets.
