1 World Music Festival
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article for a festival that never happened, Sources confirm that it was planned but also confirmed that it was cancelled before it ever happened. See WP:BALL "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." - this one never took place. Previously at AfD where a "weak keep" swung the balance.Some sources originally available are now dead links and no new reliable sources have appeared.

 * Weak delete. I found a few media reports discussing the event's cancellation,    so it's possible that the article could be re-written with the focus on the fallout from this, per WP:LASTING - but as it stands, it fails WP:BALL ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:07, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to 2013 Singapore Grand Prix. Considering the event never happened, WP:CRYSTAL applies here. There does appear to be coverage about the cancellation though, so it's possible that a new article could be written based on the aftermath, but at the moment, I can't see how the cancellation had any lasting effects. As opposed to complete deletion, I would suggest a mention somewhere in the article for that year's Singapore Grand Prix, considering it was supposed to be tied to that event.

 * Strong Delete per Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time. Most big-name shows and festivals generate media buzz, especially if there's something unusual such as a cancellation, but this doesn't translate to long-term notability. I don't think it's appropriate to merge with the Grand Prix article since the only connection is that they were schedule for the same weekend. –dlthewave ☎ 05:17, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
