Acton Fall Fair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Well written article about a local fair. Nothing beyond local coverage, and can't find a whole lot of in-depth coverage even there. Simply doesn't pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:30, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Potential Keep - Agricultural shows are significant events in my country e.g. Royal Bath and West Show. I first looked for "Three Counties Show", for which there is no article but we have Three Counties Showground.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, agricultural shows can be "significant" — but they're not exempted from having to pass WP:GNG just because they exist. Bearcat (talk) 19:38, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Acton, Ontario since I am not convinced of its notability but it may deserve a blurb on the main page. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 12:36, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's only one non-primary source here to even begin establishing notability, and it just links to a general content directory for the defunct local community weekly while providing no title or date information to help us figure out where in its 100+-year haystack the content actually being cited might be found. This is exactly why I keep getting on people's necks about the need to provide complete citation details and not just blank URLs or links to generic content directories. Something like this would have to clear WP:ORGDEPTH on the basis of coverage that expanded beyond just the local weekly newspaper, but there's no evidence of that being shown at all. It can absolutely be briefly mentioned in the town's article, but the sourcing here doesn't earn it a standalone article of its own independently of that. Bearcat (talk) 19:37, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Acton, Ontario. As it stands we have an article about an event based on poor sources. I'm not seeing much available beyond some rather routine local coverage. It's presently mentioned in the main Acton article, so a redirect seems sensible. I would say that I don't oppose a merge, but as the current article is based almost entirely on primary sources there's not really anything to be merged. No opposition if someone wants to elaborate on its coverage in the Acton article a bit. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:28, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
