Bolster Day

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability not asserted, no third party sources. 680 ghits but some WP:RS appear to exist. h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 11:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and I have also objected to the "speedy" tag which is also on the article. Is it proper to both speedy and AfD the same article on the same day so both are running simultaneously? Anyway, the festival is notable in regional (i.e. Cornish) terms, and Google is not a reliable measyre of notability for community events. DuncanHill 12:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There was no speedy tag on the article anymore. The original speedy tag had been removed (somewhat improperly) by the originator and the nominator has simply brought the article here for wider discussion. Another user then just added hang-on tag that that doesn't apply to AfD and that i consequently just removed.--Tikiwont 12:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My apologies if I misread what had become a rather confusing page. The hangon was added by the editor who brught it here, and originally added the speedy. DuncanHill 12:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Snow - Invalid Nomination (not trying to be aggressive) - Google is not a notability guide and if you found reliable sources, why did list an AfD instead of adding them? Fosnez 12:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I've rewritten and added more sources. Fosnez 12:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I also objected to the speedy of this article. There are notability issues (and whilst Google is not a notability guide, it is a useful indicator of notability at times) but, as per nom and WP:RS, BBC is top google hit and there has been reputable print coverage of this event too - I recall reading a Guardian article some time ago.  Needs to be properly referenced and beefed out - but that is not a reason to delete.  Keep and tidy up.  --manchesterstudent 12:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Local tradition covered by the BBC and various tourist guides. The article is sourced, I don't see the problem.Nick mallory 12:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
