Canadian Forces Halifax Rock Fest

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A single outdoor concert in Nova Scotia, held August 2nd. This probably wasn't notable beforehand (see the comments on the talk page, from when this was still in user space), I don't see it getting any more notable after the fact.

 * Delete unless there is talk of it being multi-year, which I don't see. The Weak Willed 17:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

*Keep It's notability is more about the fact that the Canadian Forces, Canada's military, put this concert on; it's never happened before. --24.222.189.203 (talk) 19:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC) — 24.222.189.203 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep This is an annual concert (multi-year). 2009 was the "inaugural" year.  --Cfhalifaxrockfest (talk) 12:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC) — Cfhalifaxrockfest (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete: The article doesn't even mention anything that would make it even slightly notable other than Sammy Hagar had never been to Halifax before. If someone can improve the article so that it shows a defining moment in Canadian music history, then I would agree it should stay. Single off concerts can stay providing that it has a major impact on the music/cultural scene. I don't see this as any different than a Canadian music variety show, like Canada Day on Parliament Hill. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 01:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment this might be an annual concert. It isn't yet.  And even then, it might not be notable without a lot of independent coverage in third party, reliable sources.  Also, discussions on AfDs are generally not swayed by comments made by users who have a clear vested interest.  Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 21:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This may or may not be a event repeated next year and the year after that. That still wouldn't give it anything more than local notability to my mind. Hairhorn (talk) 05:07, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

*Keep third party coverage is hard to find after-the-fact: the Chronicle Herald had three other stories on Rock Fest, but can't be seen online after seven days. More references are up. --24.222.189.203 (talk) 18:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC) — 24.222.189.203 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. *Keep This is the first at home Canadian Forces concert, and the first Chickenfoot concert, and there is going ot be a second one, and they have a number of noteable references. --24.222.129.22 (talk) 18:52, 6 September 2009 (UTC) — 24.222.129.22 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
