Manuary

Hoax. Slightly funny. Very chauvinistic. Hardly encyclopedic. -- omtay 38  20:24, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Its not a hoax, we're actually celebrating this. By definition, that's no hoax. People have tried to post this in the past, and it has been deleted. How can we band together if we keep being thwarted by people who deem this not to be a legitimate celebration? What makes Oktoberfest a celebration? These are just issues of scale and popularity. I'm not out for personal gain, I just want people to be able to find out about this holiday and know that it exists. Information on the web is scant at best, so this is a good place to start.Jman1783 (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Justin Manzo, author


 * There's something to be said for wanting to publicize the event, and I certainly cannot fault you for that. However, Wikipedia is for articles on subjects that are already notable. Once your event grows, or receives significant coverage from independent sources, then an article would probably be in order - and, I add, that when it is popular and widespread, chances are good that the level of interest will incite others to write the article for you.

Delete per WP:NN. No assertion of notability or discussion by reliable independent sources Trugster | Talk 21:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete as lacking current notability and coverage in independent sources. No objection to recreation once notability is established. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 21:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. Looked at the website.  Real men don't write things like "strip off the end of this url and type in the answer.htm in word form".  Mandsford (talk) 00:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
