Created by a COI SPA; no reliable sources, notability not established, and a whole bunch of spam links at the bottom. KurtRaschke (talk) 03:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (G11) — this is like a Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. MuZemike  ( talk ) 05:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * As a lifelong Monty Python fan I'm embarrassed to say that it actually took me a minute before I got this. Best AfD vote. Ever. 70.55.153.197 (talk) 21:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. If Surfer Magazine is a reliable source, albeit a specialized one, then notability is established through the general notability guideline. -- Eastmain (talk) 05:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - COI is not a criterion for deletion, especially where notability is demonstrated and the article is pretty reasonable. Wily D 10:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but an experienced editor needs to substantially rewrite it - it's very COI/spammy, but the event itself appears notable. It needs to be rewritten to remove the sponsors and the trivial detail. - Richard Cavell (talk) 13:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but with a need to seriously cut all the spam, per above. I added a cite news to the surfermag Web article in the lead.70.55.153.197 (talk) 21:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep Despite the aforementioned hit in some surfing media, it should be stated there is no credible coverage in any film-related media or New York-based media. This needs to be overhauled dramatically -- it would probably work better as a stub. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
