International Sushi Day

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sources are facebook, facebook, facebook, a blog, another blog, a comment on a cooking site and a press release. Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject? Not so much. This should be deleted, not featured on the Main Page. Biruitorul Talk 05:34, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete with (perhaps) a passing mention in Sushi. This event has not, in my opinion, received the widespread coverage required of WP:EVENT.  The few news articles are foodie blogs seemingly promoting restaurants and promotional/advertising-style press releases.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 08:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, I personally don't believe it should be deleted! GottaGetDownOnFriday (talk) 15:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Perhaps mark this as requiring better sources rather than deleting -- A simple Google search shows that the publicity of the event reaches globally and is rooted much broader than a single company's marketing scheme.  10:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.22.180.17 (talk)


 * Delete - I've checked it against the tests at Notability (events) and it seems to fall a long way short of notability. There's very little concrete in the current article, so it is OK to delete it now even if it might become notable at a later date. - Pointillist (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This event has received very little coverage in the news. It does not meet notability requirements.--EdwardZhao (talk) 02:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
