Non notable event, fails WP:GNG, article only has one source and it's a primary source. IronKnuckle (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article may be poorly sourced right now but the subject is clearly notable, mostly due to the large turnout and media coverage that it received at the time. A quick look in the article's history shows there were more references which have been removed for one reason or another. Searching Google produces 118000 ghits including articles posted by Time and Huffington Post. ★ Bald Zebra ★ talk 16:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Does it have lasting significance? IronKnuckle (talk) 16:07, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Notability is not temporary - it doesn't matter whether it received media coverage yesterday or 13 years ago. ★ Bald Zebra ★ talk 16:21, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: At the very least the article needs cleaning to remove promotional phrases such as "the enthusiasm didn't last long".Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   16:15, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep - Has clearly received significant coverage in many independent reliable sources. For starters, click on the GNews link at top, then read some of the articles from the search results therein. Passes WP:N. Northamerica1000(talk) 17:30, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article has gone through an almost complete re-write, as the previous incarnation was more than a little promotional in favor of the group. It's not nearly complete, as there's a lot that needs to be added in. The criticism section needs to be more fully fleshed out, as does the history section. I know that it's still active, but through the Brady Campaign. MMMs are still being held in other states, so it's still active. As far as lasting significance, I found a University of Mississippi book that has over 20 pages devoted solely to the MMM and was published in 2011. It looks to be quite thorough, so if anyone wants to flip through the GBooks bit and flesh out the article accordingly, this would be a good source to work with. But as far as notability goes, it's notable. It just needed and still needs work.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   17:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
