Unreferenced cruft. Laun chba  ller  07:48, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep "Unreferenced cruft" isn't a valid deletion rationale and doesn't equate to being non-notable. I think WP:BEFORE applies here.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:58, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep not encyclopedic in current form, but the "AFD is not cleanup" principle seems to apply here, as the event appears to clearly meet WP:SIGCOV, i.e, , , and , among other plentiful coverage... Roberticus   talk  08:16, 21 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I tried to clean this up but got straight into an editwar with a non-responding IP. So the only possible course of action left is WP:TNT. Overall the present version is a massive setlist with some extra info. And that setlist is of no encyclopaedic value but fancruft or even corporate promo (I got the idea that a song was added as soon as the song was ended on the running version of the festival).

 * Look for instance on these edits: Added {current} tag to article: event starts soon, Removed current tag; Show's over for the night, Removed current tag; the show's finally over and I can't wait for next year's event. That sounds like a journalist on scene giving a live report of the festival. And as far as I know, Wikipedia is not a newssite. The Banner talk 09:24, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, don't criticize me!! Those summaries were meant to inform people whether the event has started or ended, okay? Like they say, you can't just judge a book by its cover!! Paul Badillo (talk) 09:40, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I've only been on Wikipedia for only a few months so shut your mouth. Paul Badillo (talk) 16:58, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Other than some cleaning up and the addition of some references, I think this article should be okay. I know it shows the artists and setlists of those years but there should be at least some references. Paul Badillo (talk) 09:45, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a clearly notable recurring festival. While a line-up of artists is not really all that encyclopedic, it should be simple enough to build on it with sourced commentary, and I added four sources in just a couple of minutes. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:41, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & The Banner - The whole layout is wrong and won't be changed anytime soon, IMHO we don't need list after list of every song played at the festival, I wouldn't mind if it was just the singers but to list every song too is a bit OTT... (Yep WP:IDONTLIKEIT). – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  14:51, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Whether it was (or even is) cruft or not, it had stopped being "unreferenced" before you left your response. Now it has 20 references. Why do you assume it won't be changed any time soon? Articles change all the time. It's part of our whole purpose and process. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * When I said it won't change I meant no one would have the balls to remove the list and if they were to do that they'd no doubt be reverted .... ... But since you've kindly removed the crap I now see no reason to delete :) ... – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  18:17, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. :) It can be a pain in the neck when people restore stuff that isn't supported by policy, but the way out is generally consensus. If reverted, I will talk about it, achieve consensus and go forward accordingly. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:35, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as now the crap's been deleted I see no reason for this to be deleted. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  18:17, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Defenitely, all the setlists and other non-useful stuff has been removed so now there's no reason why it needs to be deleted. Paul Badillo (talk) 04:21, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Definitely notable, and now the article's cleaned up as well. Ks0stm  (T•C•G•E) 13:58, 22 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is a very notable event over 1 billion social impressions that is broadcast on hundreds on radio stations in the United States, streamed online and shown on network tv in the United States. All the the performers are large well known acts. The setlists are helpfully information to music fans. Anyone wanting to delete this article is not a music fan or jealous of the reach and impact of this event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.243.230 (talk) 04:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep The page has been cleared up and doesn't appear to be cruft, and it certainly appears to be well referenced now.Ceronomus (talk) 21:52, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Its a large festival, comparable to many other articles we have on wikipedia. Nothing outrageous here.  Of course I am just seeing the cleaned up version.   A little OR, yes, I've seen it cycle through on Palladia (added a source).  Fancruft or not, this size of an event affects many people.  Its not something wikipedia should ignore or delete.
