Ghoulstock

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

Non-notable event. No hits on Google news archives. The only hits on Google are the group's own website or related blogs and youtube channels. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: not notable, not encyclopedic, POV problems, no reliable / independent sources...Nikkimaria (talk) 02:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: Local Notable, Some reliable Media Press sources, Probably just needs a clean template update Ghoulstock (talk) 12:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If there are reliable sources, please feel free to add them. None of the sources you've currently cited could be considered "reliable" as they are all primary sources (from the Ghoulstock website itself) or from blogs which are generally NOT considered reliable sources as there is NO peer review process at all.

 * Comment So the screencap of the temporary SouthJerseyLocalNews.com article doesn't count since it's unfortunately being mirrored by the site? It was on the web but the online articles are temporary so it was screencapped, the physical newspaper printing I have. There were also many earlier newspaper clippings about the show but unfortunately those I don't have copies of but they were about the cancellation of the 5th show and the Night of the Living Dead musical. EDIT: I added some more outside sources from 2008 competitions featuring Ghoulstock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghoulstock (talk • contribs)
 * Response It counts, but one article in a local newspaper does not convey notability. And the sources regarding the 2008 competitions don't really apply to the Ghoulstock festival, but rather to a group of people who claim some relationship to that festival engaging in entirely unrelated competitions (a bicycle fundraising ride and a very local film-making competition, in which they did not even place very well).  None of these sources asserts notability on a scale required for a Wikipedia article.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Response Fine, you win. I guess Ghoulstock isn't Wiki-material yet considering how many of you are so eagerly hopping on the takedown wagon. As for you, WikiDan, I was fine with this when it was civil but you didn't have to get snooty and shove your asinine aside into your last response. Who are you to tell me that 3rd runner up isn't placing very well? Honestly, it was an unnecessary comment and the fact that you are judging the content on Wikipedia only proves why the whole site can be taken with a grain of salt.Ghoulstock (talk) 12:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment One of the criteria under WP:NF is that a film has won an award at a major film festival. The film in question neither won an award, nor was this a major film festival.  That was my point.  Had the film won the award rather than placing as 3rd runner up, that might have conferred notability, but the placement it received does NOT confer notability.  If I sounded snide, I apologize.  I was merely trying to point out the facts that were relevant.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Verifiable sources very much lacking. ¿SFGi Д nts!  ¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review! 16:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Unless reliable sources establish notability. I gave up after about 7 gpages of search. Almost all blogs, twitters or youtubes. When there's nothing to be seen in that distance, I begin to wonder if there's anything to see at all. (That's a challenge: prove me wrong. I'm always happy to be PROVED wrong.)
