Colorado MahlerFest

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional and not clearly notable. Scarpy (talk) 18:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep a well established festival that has been running for more than thirty years. There are refs in Colorado press as well as this and this for example, so it seems sufficiently notable to me to have its own article. Mccapra (talk) 18:43, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment other than the Denver Post article, the refs either seem to be from blog-like sources or don't seem to cover the toopic in-depth. I'd ideally want to see several like the Dever Post article. - Scarpy (talk) 20:23, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment the sources I pointed to weren’t ‘blog-like’. One was a Google book ‘Gustav and Alma Mahler: A Research and Information Guide’ and the other was Audiophile.com. There are other blog-like reviews out there too which I avoided. The festival is a series of concerts which are pretty uncontroversial in themselves so I’m not sure what kind of in-depth discussion you’d expect to see about them. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccapra (talk • contribs) 21:26, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
 * To quote the first paragraph from audiophilereview.com AudiophileReview.com is a leading high end audio and audiophile *blog* covering topics like speakers.... There is no significant coverage of MahlerFest in the book you mentioned. I'd like to see indepth discussion from reliable sources so that the topic meets the general notability guildeline. Are you new here? It's like you've never been in an AfD before. - Scarpy (talk) 23:28, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to insufficient sustained WP:SIGCOV. The Denver Post article is good, but this event has not received significant coverage outside of Colorado, so it is just a local festival with local coverage, which means WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:48, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - and  would indicate that it is not just a series of concerts, but that significant academic discussions regarding Mahler and his work take place at that time.  Recordings from the concert series get a review from The Absolute Sound somewhere around issue 130, should someone have access to that publication.  MahlerFest recordings also get significant press in the Times Colonist (Victoria, British Columbia, September 16, 1999)  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 02:52, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
