Kampong Festival
Looks like an advertisement. The poster seems to be trying to market the event. Moreover, the poster has limited edits and all edits are related to this event. __earth 10:26, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete advertisement, I have greeted the initial editor and pointed them here, I would have no objections to them having same/similar on their own user page, if it's part of what they do/are. Alf 13:41, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have removed the speedy tag from the article.  This is probably deletable, but it doesn't seem to meet the criteria of WP:CSD. -- Visviva 05:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

baBlonde:I can understand that you gentle beings would think that its an advertisement. My aim is not to advertise, but merely to create an awareness to wikipedians that there is a festival out there that showcases some of these elements. For instance, would you ever be able to see an 'orang asli' or experience an authentic 'kampong' lifestyle if you were in Malaysia? I'm merely suggesting where we can find these elements. My rationale is this: you can search for 'orang asli', 'kampong' and 'hulu langat' in the wikipedia, and I can tell you one place where you can experience or see for yourselves these elements in a most authentic state, ie not in a museum or shopping mall. To point a place on a map, so to speak. I would sincerely appreciate if you'd re-consider. And like I mentioned, is a place that bridges the gap between urban and kampong lifestyles in Malaysia. Thanks!


 * Isn't "creat[ing] an awareness to wikipedians that there is a festival out there that showcases some of these elements" by definition advertising? Delete. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 17:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

sugarbabe: I think its cool to have it in. There's nothing wrong to shout out something great like this fest. I don't really think of it as an advertisement. Let it stay, won't harm a soul.
