This was de-prodded just hours before its scheduled deletion. I guess we have to give it another week of life, but hopefully no more. It's promotional fluff about an event not covered in independent sources, after all. Biruitorul Talk 21:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

This page should be deleted as it violates the policy WP:NOTADVERTISING. All information on the page is from the festival's website and promotional materials, not independent sources.Waypunkerthanyou (talk) 13:13, 9 October 2009 (UTC) — Waypunkerthanyou (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 16:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article name is awkward; it should be Decibelle, Decibelle Music & Culture Festival or Estrojam (the festival's former name). I was able to find several newspaper articles about Estrojam and added them as references. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:18, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it exists, but the first three links are mere abstracts, and as for the fourth, well, hopefully we can do a little better than the Windy City Times. Regardless, this will have to comply with WP:MOS, and it's far from doing so. - Biruitorul Talk 23:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. The three Chicago Tribune articles are each about 800 words, but you have to pay to see the full text. The brief abstracts are displayed by pqarchiver.com to give people a taste of the full article so they can decide whether to buy it or not. And I think the Windy City Times is a reliable source. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. In 2007, Estrojam was deleted as "R1, redirect to deleted article" -- Eastmain (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
