International Clash Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a "holiday" which isn't really anything of the sort; it's just a promotion that some radio stations participate in, playing music by a particular band. Something like this could get an article if it were sourceable to enough real media coverage to clear WP:GNG, but that's not what the sources here are: right across the board, they're blogs, Facebook posts and/or the primary source websites of directly participating stations, with no evidence of any coverage in sources that are independent of it. And the list of participating radio stations, further, is not linking internally to their Wikipedia articles, but is instead linkfarming an inappropriate directory of their own offsite web URLs (the reason for this, I suspect, being that some of them are non-notable Internet streams rather than real, notable OTA radio stations.) This is just completely and utterly not what a Wikipedia article is supposed to look like or how it's supposed to be referenced. Bearcat (talk) 19:32, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Bearcat (the nominator) is on the money. It's a promotional event that has little significance of its own and actually says more about the band. The fact that the Clash has inspired the promotion can be discussed, with verifiable sources, at The Clash. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:13, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Clash. As a stand alone article it is promotional. ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with comments above that it is a promotional event by radio stations, and not notable. Also it is just plain inaccurate to call it an international holiday.NerudaPoet (talk) 17:22, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. There don't seem to be sources that would meet WP:GNG's definition of reliable, independent, and substantial. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 18:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
