Help me.

The Big Drum Bonanza merits a wiki page. While I am new to creating wiki pages, I attempted to reference the many notable participants and in regard to the event itself. I was not sure if I should reference every single article ever written about it, but a simple Google check would substantiate its largess withing the drumming and music community.

Regarding the A7 criteria, while not an educational institution is an educational event. It has been written about many times in the media including, Drum! magazine, Modern Drummer, Rhythm magazine, iDrum as well as in international drum publications. I kept the listing as neutral as possible to avoid seeming overly flowery and left out the many sponsors, etc., If in my attempt to sound neutral ,I made it seem unimportant, that was not my intent.

Please clarify for me why this listing was almost instantly deleted and I would appreciate any assistance in better referencing the event to substantiate its notoriety.

Moved article to your userspace
Hi! I moved the article for Big Drum Bonanza to your userspace so you could continue to work on it. You can find it at User:Easter2816/Big drum bonanza. The big issue is that unfortunately I really don't think that this article will meet notability guidelines anytime soon. One of the biggest issues is that there are no reliable sources out there to show that this gathering meets notability guidelines. By "reliable" I mean that the gathering has been covered in sources such as newspapers, news/music shows, or magazines that Wikipedia considers to be a reputable source. WP:PRIMARY sources such as the official website for the gathering or notifications of events is not considered to be a source that can give notability. Also, blog entries are almost never usable as far as notability goes. I just don't see where this is independently notable outside of Lang. However that said, there's not really anything wrong with you having a copy to work on and polish in your userspace until the time comes that it does pass notability guidelines.
