Center of Gravity (festival)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Semi-advertorialized article, tagged for referencing and writing problems for eight years without significant improvement, about an annual event not properly sourced as notable per our inclusion criteria for events. Right across the board, this is referenced entirely to community hyperlocals rather than major media -- so while they'd be fine for supplementary verification of stray facts if there were at least some evidence of coverage in better sources too, they're not in and of themselves enough to get it over WP:GNG if they are the best sources anybody can actually find.

 * Keep, clearly a notable enough event attracting large numbers, not without controversy (a lot of the recent news coverage has been about a death at the 2018 event). Sure, the article needs clean-up. Sionk (talk) 04:52, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Passes WP:GNG. It's also an annual event capable of generating news. Germcrow (talk) 12:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Conditional Keep The festival looks to be ongoing and legitimate. If they can come up with some varied sourcing I would think this would pass. I agree the article sourcing needs work but I would bet through TV and printed press there is enough sources to meet notability. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 09:47, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - a local festival, but continuously growing over the years with more prominent acts, so notablilty is increasing - Epinoia (talk) 03:47, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
