Elektra Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Semi-advertorialized and unreferenced article about a digital arts festival, with no strong claim to passing our notability criteria for events. As always, every festival is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because its existence is technically verifiable -- media coverage has to establish its importance for an article to be justified. But once I removed all the WP:ELNO-violating links threaded throughout the article body where a thing mentioned in the body text was offlinking to its own self-published website about itself instead of to a Wikipedia article about it, there were literally no "references" left at all, much less any reliable or notability-supporting ones from real media.
