Holy Week in Almeria

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no evidence to suggest the notability of this topic. What appears to be a machine translation of the Spanish text is available at Draft:Holy Week in Almeria. The article on the city in question, Almeria, does not have any information on religion in the city. I could not find any sources that explain how Easter celebrations in this city are independently notable in any particular way. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:01, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Even if the Holy Week in Almería doesn't present any differences from that of other places of Spain,it is always useful for the people coming to this Spanish city to know that this traditional celebration also takes place in this city. Therefore, this article explains in which way this celebration is done and what activities (more precisely "procesión" in Spanish) take place during the days of the Holy Week (from Saturday to Sunday).
 * As the creator of this article and inhabitant of Almería, I believe it would be interesting for non-residents to know the tradition of the Holy Week in this city of Andalusia.

 * Thank you for your comment, it is certainly appropriate for you to comment in this discussion. I have slightly changed the format of your comment by adding the word "Keep" instead of the section header "against deletion".
 * The problem with your comments so far is that Wikipedia has a policy that it is not a travel guide. So whilst the history of this event may be interesting, it also needs to satisfy the requirement that it be notable. So you need to provide evidence of the celebration being discussed in reliable sources. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:58, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Although a description of the celebrations could be notable, the current article is merely a list of participating "brotherhoods", that are unlikely to meet WP:GNG. - HyperGaruda (talk) 08:17, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 * The article doesn't show how the Holy Week in Almeria has any lasting, historical effect, a significant impact on the region, or has received in-depth coverage by national and international media beyond the short-term news cycle. It rather seems like the coverage of a routine (annual) event. Moreover, the declaration of being a "Fiesta of National Tourist Interest of Andalusia" seems to be factually inaccurate. The festival falls under the declaration "Semana Santa in Andaluca" (| Source), like any other Andalusian festival associated with the Holy Week. It fails WP:LASTING, WP:EFFECT, WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:DEPTH, WP:INDEPTH, WP:DIVERSE, WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, WP:PERSISTENCE, and falls under WP:ROUTINE. Please delete. --Arbraxan (talk) 10:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as I'm still not finding anything else better at all, there's certainly also nothing currently convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  07:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
