Surface Unsigned
This was also deleted by another admin previously. It is unacceptable because
 * It contains non-neutral POV and personal attacks Mild and accurate criticism ... a highly-respected promoter of the arts in Birmingham, ... Jay Mitchell has also acted aggressively and censoriously to criticism and comment on various music websites and blogs.
 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. It is up to you to show notability in accordance with the guidelines, especially as it involves unknown bands. Thus, very few, if any, people attend who are not already a fans, friends or family members of one of the bands. suggests non-notable
 * Advertising - encyclopaedias do not give ticket prices, deposit, text costs or prize money

 *  Is it necessary for me to add details of why the festival is significant and noteworthy? - Yes, if you want it to stay it should be fully referenced, and conform to.
 *  That was an entirely different article written a year ago with which I have no connection. - fair enough
 *  It is very clear that I am not advertising. It is an account, a description. Are you suggesting that every mention of the cost of something anywhere is an advertisement? An encyclopaedia description does not need prices etc, which in any case become outdated, and usually details of prices are a good indicator of spam
 *  The other bits you complained about can be changed easily  Fine
