The result was keep. Looks like there is a weak consensus here that the coverage is sufficient to meet the main notability guideline. Davewild (talk) 17:09, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Every Picture Tells A Story (event)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable music festival with multiple searches providing nothing so I even tried a browser search which gave me nothing aside from a Sydney Morning Herald article where a user commented about the festival. Frankly, the article is not very comprehensible hence the clean tag with the listed sources below significant and it seems the festival is now defunct with no website. I could search further such as Australian newspapers but I think it's evident this festival is not notable and never received much attention. SwisterTwister  talk  04:20, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * delete fails WP:GNG. the article is based on one source, the rest of it is unverified. LibStar (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG: more sources have now been supplied. Festival was extant for about 10 years and was influential on Melbourne's rave scene and Australian techno artists. More work is needed on wikifying the content but the event is notable enough to be included. May need to be moved, for naming reasons to Every Picture Tells a Story (event)shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:35, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I spot checked some sources and found that they were passing mentions. If this is to be kept someone must point out multiple sources which have this event as the subject of media coverage.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  19:20, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep now per Shaidar cuebiyar. Nice work - David Gerard (talk) 08:34, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - article is well referenced with reliable sources. and this series of parties/events was an important part of Melbourne's early dance music history. Kathodonnell (talk) 02:40, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you point to 2-3 best sources? Just by spot checking I see no sources meeting WP:RS. What do you see?  Blue Rasberry  [[User talk:Bluerasberry|(talk) ]] 13:13, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * At 30 seconds' glance: InTheMix, TimeOut, Youth Studies Australia (academic), ABC all clearly pass. Haven't checked importance of the others - David Gerard (talk) 19:39, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * In my opinion all the sources I added are RS. Its true that some only give passing mention(s) of the events but others give detailed description of them, including those specifically named by David. Bluerasberry, if you're seeing no RS at all then I doubt we can convince you otherwise.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:31, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * agree with above replies. if you need a list: ref 4 & 5 are academic books/journal articles by Graham St John who specialises in EDM, 11 is a govt. funded journal & 13 is the national tv broadcaster. 3 looks OK too. 1 & 6 ITM - they specialise in dance music, so I'd count the articles as RS (not forum posts). 7 is a well known street press publication. these parties were mostly held in the 1990s. so you're not going to find too many current newspaper/google searches, but they've been spoken about in academic studies and archives. Kathodonnell (talk) 01:33, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * + I think their record label mentioned in the article is worth saving the article too - as it released songs by well known and respected artists as listed. (not all listed have WP pages though I can see a few names at least who would qualify) the compilations was reflective of the sounds in Melbourne dance community at the time.

 * , I've always thought notability is RW importance, with the GNG only a  very primitive attempt to guess at that, and  any comment I have in this field would  be made without any knowledge of what is important in the RW; I don't like to do that in any subject.

 * Keep I think that the article following recent edits passes WP:GNG. Dan arndt (talk) 03:53, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
