 * Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources such as those cited in the article. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think that that two dead links, one blog, and one site that doesn't mention the article's subject is substantial coverage in reliable sources. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, a small nn festival, one of the refs has pictures of the festival, there's hardly anyone there. Szzuk (talk) 16:34, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:GNG, WP:ORGCRIT and WP:NEVENTS. There are dozens and dozens of festivals that take place between May and September every year up and down the UK, and most of them are not notable, like this one. The festival started out as literally a barbecue in someone's back garden, and eight years later it isn't much bigger – the site's capacity is 700 people (half the size of the average indoor music venue), which makes it smaller both in terms of size and in notability of the headline acts than the other two festivals which take place on the same site, Wilkestock and Back of Beyond... and those festivals aren't notable either. The one reliable source in the article, from the Hertfordshire Life, is archived here: – but this is a local magazine, and it just lists 50 events taking place within Hertfordshire during the summer of 2013, which must be just about every event in the county that summer, so it doesn't mark this festival out as notable. The other sources are two blogs, and the website of another event that takes place on the same site. All sources online appear to be either event listings or ticket websites. Article was created by a SPA, Team Ridiculous, which just happens to be the name of the organisational team behind the festival – I strongly suspect the team created the article as promotional material for the 2014 event, and have never bothered to update it since then.

 * Delete as lacking independent in depth sourcing. Oops I did it again (talk) 22:37, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
