Subject article fails WP:GNG because they seems like a promotional press about the event coming up to entertain and also lack significant coverage. Article also seems fishy looking like a paid job from the way it was written. Subject article also fails WP:EVENTCRIT in terms of No.1. Articles is a Too soon and should be delete because Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought Gabrielt@lk 14:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC) I could go on and on and on. For now, we have WP:THREE.

 * Keep — according to the policy, before nominating an article for deletion, you are required to make a WP:BEFORE. I have done so and I have found multiple sources supporting proving the notability of this event.
 * Keep - Thank You Reading Beans for saving my article. Actually I’m a journalist and close friend to the Founder of Bole festival. We actually had a promised from our co-partner “CIOUSNET” that our Wikipedia has been verified and can never be deleted because we paid him for the service and news content which he said to be eligible. We are trying to reach “CIOUSNET” but his not picking please how do we email you. We have an upcoming show and we need the Wikipedia to be professionally look good.--Bolejournalist (talk) 22:32, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

 * It is completely against Wikipedia policy to pay someone to make a page, unless they disclose their association, in which case they cannot just post the page, they need to submit it for admin review via WP:AFC. CIOUSNET is in violations of Wikipedia policy. Zeddedm (talk) 06:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment - Wikipedia is not a site for promotion or where editors are being paid to help brand a particular brand or event. Also why then pay for press articles if your events are notable.--Gabrielt@lk 09:14, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - all articles appear to be PR and was admitted by Bolejournalist above that a paid editor was hired who did PR.Zeddedm (talk) 06:20, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
