Dubai Shopping Festival

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Little content to support notability on the shopping festival rather than Dubai. Reads like an advertisement. Luke! (talk) 06:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page because of the same above reasons and the Dubai Summer Surprises are the shopping festival counterparts:


 * I am not sure if the subject is not notable. A look at Google News shows a fair amount of press attention . However, the articles (escpecially the Shopping Festival one) are written in a manner so out of touch with the WP:NPOV policy that no article would be better than this article which is a promo. I will need to say delete and recreate an encyclopedia article if the subject is worthy. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep both, I think, DSF definitely. The POV is much improved by skipping the two big paragraphs in the middle; after that pretty much everything should be sourceable. --Dhartung | Talk 09:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I only took me a few minutes to find and add a reference (from a New York Times website) which demonstrates notability, less time than it takes to create an AfD request. I'm sure there are plenty more out there. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
