Jamaica plain music festival

 * – ( View AfD View log )

First off, the title is wrong, and, if kept, it probably should be moved to Jamaica Plains Music Festival Jamaica Plain Music Festival. Beyond that, this festival does not seem notable to me as a one time, local, and relatively small event (as far as music festivals go, only 1000 in attendance.) BUT, there are some OK sources and its informative and well written. Also, I can't speak of the notability of the performers involved...so I think it at least deserves to stand up to a standard AFD test, and have some more folks with better understanding of notability requirements to take a look.

 * Keep – Article passes the General notability guidelines, which state “If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.” All of the subpoints of this statement are qualified, (significant coverage, source reliability and being independent of the subject). Article also passes WP:SOURCES, particularly with the Jamaica Plain Gazette source. Northamerica1000 (talk) 05:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment – The article title should have each word capitalized, for correct grammar. Northamerica1000 (talk) 05:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I only see one reference of significant coverage and that is the boston.com one. Otherwise, it sounds like a local music festival in which the organization doesn't pass WP:NONPROFIT.  Bgwhite (talk) 22:23, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
