Element Festival

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

A music festival in Ireland that got cancelled. The two sources don't convince me of notability, and I'm not sure how weighty they are in any case. Reyk YO!  02:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah no, they're all well-loved bands in Ireland. --➨ Candlewicke :) Sign/Talk 03:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: obviously not very notable if it was cancelled. ww2censor (talk) 02:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails general WP:NN guidelines. (Didn't happen, so has no coverage whatsoever). Represents WP:CRYSTAL in speculating on possible future re-scheduling. Guliolopez (talk) 23:13, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and remove that which contradicts the above. Add more sources. --➨ Candlewicke :) Sign/Talk 16:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not really sure that's appropriate Candlewicke. The simple fact is that this event didn't happen, and may never happen. (And hence fails WP:SPECULATION and WP:ORG). If you were to cull all the speculative stuff and the stuff that didn't happen ("these bands never played"), there would be nothing left. Save for a one-liner that read: "The Element Festival was a proposed festival that never happened". And this would fail WP:NN as - it seems - the cancellation of this event wasn't even notable enough for a single mention in any mainstream news source. (Or, to put it another way, given that this event didn't happen, the only reason to keep would be if it's cancellation was notable. Which it wasn't.) Guliolopez (talk) 19:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Some of the bands, i.e., The Flaws, Boss Volenti, Hybrasil, The Aftermath, have their own articles. This non-notable festival was to have some notable bands. --➨ Candlewicke :) Sign/Talk 23:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
