Hiroshima Flower Festival

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable local festival. Fails WP:N. Purely sourced to festival website and appears to be more of an ad than anything else. No significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources, just blog posts, local notes, and press releases. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 16:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - the Japanese version seems to have more sources than the English version. I don't have the language skills or the expertise to evaluate this, but it seems to me that if the topic meets the notability standard on ja.wikipedia, it probably should also on en.wikipedia. The artticle definitely needs work. Racepacket (talk) 17:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep If this has been running since 1977 with all these guest, I'm pretty sure it's notable. No lack of coverage either, example: . It doesn't look like an ad at all, more like it was written by a local who visited it. AGF please. --Apoc2400 (talk) 21:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's no need to do any more than click on the searches linked above to see that there is significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:58, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
