Duke City Shootout

 * Delete I'm from Albuquerque, and even I don't think this is notable enough for an article. --NMChico24 23:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete before the Public Relations 'team' adds more crap. - Richardcavell 00:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 *  Delete Massive rewrite if not rewritten then delete and fire the PR team. Or leave them in the path of the shootout Fiddle Faddle 06:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Looking at this film festival in detail I can see that it is actually a notable festival. My vote for deletion was a gut reaction to the article itself, which was wrong.  The festival itself attracts many pieces of coverage in diverse media judging by the site names in the Ghits and appears to be notable as a (probable) pioneer in film festivals and a place for aspiring film-makers to work under substantial pressure in a competitive environment.  So I have changed my opinion. I have also drawn the creator's attention to the state of the article both on the talk page and on his talk page, working on "don't bite the newbies" as a principle (only very few contributions). The article sucks, though, as it is now.  Fiddle Faddle 06:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
