Talk:Craft Lake City

Tagging
I thought that all of the issues in this page had been resolved, can someone explain to me why it has been tagged with these problems again?--SaltCityEM (talk) 21:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Clearly not, therwise I would not have been tagging.
 * About the references: all your references are press releases or announcements by the organizing committee. In most cases, these are not useful as sources. The article misses independent, reliable third party sources.
 * About the copy-editing: the text contain, amongst others, peacock terms, like "affordably-priced items", "Free to attend", and a list of non-notable performers. Maybe the performers are of huge local interest, they are not relevant for wikipedia. Also, the article lacks internal links.
 * About notability: without proper sources, notability can not be judged. A three year old festival with 12.000 visitors is not very convincing. The festivals should show that is more on offer then being just another local festival.
 * Still, it might by that the festival is notable. That is why I not nominated it for deletion, but that I tagged it. Now you can work on the article, without the immediate threat of removal. I know my comments sounds harsh, but I believe that you can improve the article enough to make even me happy. Night of the Big Wind  talk  21:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, I've gone through and changed the "peacock" terms and added internal links. As for Craft Lake City's notability and the notability of the performers listed, I'd like to direct you to The Renegade Craft Fair, Maker Faire and Bazaar Bizarre which I used as a guide in writing this article, along with other wiki pages on not only arts and craft festivals, but very specific "local" attractions and performers, such as Anime St. George and the List of Utah musical groups. Craft Lake City is an event in Salt Lake, but every event is based out of somewhere "local." The artists who are part of Craft Lake City are nationally and internationally recognized, as many of them attend craft and art festivals such as Renegade and Flatstock across the nation and beyond, and have their own websites where they sell their wares to anyone with Internet access. The bands and performers at Craft Lake City are locally based musicians, but many are also touring bands who have been featured in magazines such as Decibel, and some have even been signed to major labels. Though they may not have the record sales worthy of their own Wiki pages, I would argue that they are notable because of this. As for the references I used, the article was previously tagged because all of my references were Craft Lake City press releases or information from the Craft Lake City website, I have since changed all of those references to third parties, which is why the tag was removed. So if you could please tell me which references you are referring to, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time. --SaltCityEM (talk) 21:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
