Antbahar (2012)
You should write something more about record-breaking PAF Antbahar (2012) which won 9 out 9 awards. There is nothing written about this great PAF. Without Antbahar, PAF history won't be complete.

I am shocked that there is no mention of Moooooooonstone! &mdash; Ravikiran 03:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Deja vu
Please put the praise of Deja vu only in the trivia section. I am removing the current praises from the Some recent Pafs section.Cygnus_hansa 10:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Importance: Uncredited (uncited) statements
Some of the quotes under the Importance header are not cited and do not appear to be neutral opinions (from a wikipedia standpoint). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alaymehta (talk • contribs) 18:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Notability of the Event and existence of a separate wiki page on the Performing Arts Festival
The event is a single university (IIT Bombay) specific event and the scope is limited in terms of number of people affected, as well as the geographical location.

The various criterion of notability of events not met by the article are: 1. Lasting Effects of the event 2. Geographical Scope of the event 3. Depth of Coverage  4. Diversity of Sources

It is an important part of the IIT Bombay culture and I propose that it should be moved to/merged with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay page and follow the wiki guidelines. It should be added to the 'Cultural and non-academic activities' section.
