Mardi Gras World

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There has clearly been a concerted attempt to remove all the copypaste and promotional text from the article over several years. But what is left is not about Mardis Gras World as a whole. I can't see anything other than listings pages and travel reviews online. perhaps it is time for the article to go, or be redirected to Kern Studios. Fails WP:GNG.

 * Keep A Google Books search shows that Mardi Gras World is discussed in this book by a sociologist at a university in Finland as well as in several other books about the quirky culture of New Orleans. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  07:30, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable New Orleans landmark and tourist attraction, and as Cullen328 notes, book coverage exists as well. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. The notability of Mardi Gras World has been as a public museum, and party venue, as well as store house for NOLA parades. Plus, recent news continues (see: Google news links), even 5 years after article was created in October 2011. -Wikid77 (talk) 03:20, 16 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Nomination withdrawn, on the basis of the couple of lengthy news articles that can be dug out of the Google search above. And I agree the fact sociologists in Finland use it as an example suggests it is known beyond the USA too. Thanks for the input. Sionk (talk) 18:45, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
