Talk:Canada's Largest Ribfest

Untitled
This article had previously been deleted. It is terribly written, and is an advertisement. The title "Canada's Largest Ribfest" is misleading. The ribfest is a traveling carnival which draws large attendance in every city. Plus every ribfest states something about being "Canada's largest party", or "Canada's largest cookoff". The article should be deleted and created into a larger article encompassing all ribfests. UrbanNerd (talk) 12:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't verify your statement above. I have found that there is certainly variations in sizes of ribfests. Moreover, my impression is that it's the "rib teams" which travel, not the festivals themselves. — Code Hydro  14:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This is true, the rib vendors travel, not the actual festival themselves. Anyway you want to word it is fine by me. I never meant to imply the festivals themselves traveled. UrbanNerd (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


 * The article was deleted via prod and contested (by myself), then taken to AFD as a procedural matter after it was erroneously prodded again. Ribfests are similar but they are not all one single "traveling carnival" (as far as I know), it is the ribbers themselves who travel and pay to attend individually-operated events (most are operated by a rotary service clubs). "Canada's Largest Ribfest" is the name of the event, and I do believe it is at least the largest ribfest in Ontario. Do you have evidence that it isn't? – xeno talk 15:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
