Talk:Firefly Arts Collective

Media source
Have there been any news stories on Firefly? It would be nice to include some secondary sources. If not, I have to ask: is the event notable enough to include in an encyclopedia? VxP 21:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know, but I've posted a message on Tribe to see. Even if there is no mainstream media coverage don't similar articles set a precedent?  Here are some examples, most of which had far fewer attendees:


 * 1) Recompression - 180 Attendees - 0 listed news stories
 * 2) EmoTAZ - 47 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories
 * 3) NoWhere (event) - 140 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories
 * 4) Playa del Fuego - 850 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories


 * Further, prior to this article's creation List of regional Burning Man events red linked to this page and Burning Man linked to Firefly's website.


 * Like Burning Man there is a certain extent the Fireflies would like to limit media exposure. At the same time Burner events are meant to be participant-exclusive, media is thus often unwelcome.  ForestJay 05:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, 1) this article is actually one of the best from the List of regional Burning Man events; 2) Being "in the news" just means that the mainstream establishment has recognized the event - Wikipedia, being (in a sense) Anarchy in Action doesn't need or necessarily want to follow the establishment.

Page move?
The title of this page is actually the name of the organizing non-profit group, while the event is just called "Firefly". I suggest this article be renamed Firefly (event) - any objections? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 18:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've actually had the same thought. There had once been a red link to Firefly (Event). ForestJay 01:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I had put that on List of regional Burning Man events at one point. Not sure. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)  04:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
