Deletion of Everything Visible Is Empty

Comment: I cannot say I like how the editor created these articles, but s/he has been trying to create articles on experimental film, a grossly unrepresented area on Wikipedia. I noticed the editor created a few articles on some of Toshio Matsumoto's shorts. Matsumoto is arguably the most famous of Japanese experimental filmmakers, with retrospectives around the world (https://nwfilmforum.org/events/short-films-toshio-matsumoto/, http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/films/2011julsep/matsumoto.html, https://wexarts.org/film-video/toshio-matsumoto-experimental-films, http://en.mieff.com/2017/retrospective_toshio_matsumoto, http://next.liberation.fr/cinema/2017/10/03/toshio-matsumoto-hallus-signees_1600674, https://www.kawasaki-museum.jp/exhibition/8387/, etc.). He is without a doubt notable, as are many of his films, particularly ''Funeral Parade of Roses'', which was his feature debut. Among his shorts, ''The Weavers of Nishijin'' is probably the most famous (there is even an entire article on that one short film: http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199731664.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199731664-e-003). One would have to consider each film on its merits, but I would argue that ''Everything Visible Is Empty'' is among his more notable shorts. The title was used for a title of a significant Matsumoto retrospective in Hong Kong, and reviews of that discuss the film prominently: https://artreview.com/features/ara_winter_2017_feature_toshio_matsumoto/, http://moussemagazine.it/everything-visible-empty-toshio-matsumoto-2017/, https://search.informit.com.au/documentSummary;dn=188912453622352;res=IELHSS, https://artomity.art/2018/01/28/toshio-matsumoto/, etc. The film is also featured on the Museum of Modern Art online introduction to Japanese experimental film: http://post.at.moma.org/content_items/21-matsumoto-toshio-selected-works/media_collection_items/417. (I'm not sure if that satisfies no. 4 of , but both the MoMA and the National Film Archive of Japan databases don't show their entire collection.) One could also note the participation in the film of Toshi Ichiyanagi, one of Japan's most important modern composers. It is harder to prove notability for minor genres like experimental film, but there is surprisingly a good amount on this film—and I haven't even started searching Japanese print sources
