 * Delete and redirect After that initial buzz around the launch, with Spike Lee on board, this festival sort of drops off the radar, doesn't it? It's already cited in the main article. I'd have no problem with editors adding more festival-related content to Babelgum, with primary refs if nothing else for WP:V, per WP:PRESERVE. But the festival alone doesn't appear to meet GNG, as Kierzek more succinctly notes. Actually, some references do "work." I've easily restored the link to the Business Week/Bloomberg piece -- which appears to have been derived from a Bloomberg-issued news release? -- and the Variety news ref works just fine. But if in fact the festival is defunct, it never garnered enough independent coverage so that WP:NOTTEMPORARY would apply. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, no redirect is necessary since the title starts with the word "Babelgum" which would be the target Babelgum. Didn't have significant coverage when launched, and still does not. Fails WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 22:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
