Corndogorama

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

Rather spammy write up of a local festival in Atlanta. Created by an SPA. Is it notable? &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 16:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

- I'm going to go with Keep on this one. I cut the article back to a stub (waaayyy too many shoutouts). Hopefully it can be salvaged from here. - Richfife (talk) 16:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I would like to keep my original article. How do I do that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrbutler06 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * If it's for personal use, it's still in the history here. If the AFD results in a delete (which I personally doubt, but you never know), that link will go dead. - Richfife (talk) 03:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has an article on it at their accessatlanta.com site. Article could do with a clean-up, I'll go poke at it a bit.  -- tiny plastic Grey Knight &#x2296; 13:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm inclined to say this isn't notable. The accessatlanta article doesn't establish any real notability to the subject other than its some random and minor possible tourist attraction.  I don't suppose I should start making articles for the town band that plays down by the waterfront every summer just because it was featured in a news article.--  Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 14:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - it appears that the music festival has garnered repeat coverage from local Atlanta press over the years. -- Whpq (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete - "world famous all over Atlanta" syndrome; pretty light on substantive coverage by anybody other than the local iteration of Creative Loafing, and I'm not sure I'd qualify that as a reliable source. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Atlanta metropolitan area has a population of a little over 5 million, so I'm inclined to equate notable in Atlanta to notable in general. - Richfife (talk) 19:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * response - I've got more kin in Greater Atlanta, but we're working on a worldwide perspective here. How many music festivals in Guangzhou-Foshan (metro population 13.5 million) have articles here?
 * My response is: Not nearly enough.  Absence of a Wikipedia article doesn't imply that there shouldn't be one. - Richfife (talk) 20:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - a 12 year festival --T-rex 03:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Culture of Atlanta, Georgia. It is a notable festival held in Atlanta. Few things about the festival should be mentioned in the article Culture of Atlanta, Georgia. However, it is not notable in general. Therefore, I don't think a separate article is needed. Masterpiece2000   ( talk ) 03:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Culture of Atlanta, Georgia - not convinced that a separate article is required. PhilKnight (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm cool with that as well. - Richfife (talk) 16:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep due to lack of convincing arguments for deletion.  Jerry  talk ¤ count/logs 00:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
