New York Photo Festival

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Festival written up by one of its founders. A previous version of the article was deleted as spam. Is it notable? &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:36, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Given that Google News comes up with one source from a New Jersey Brazilian community newspaper, it would seem not. .Capitalistroadster (talk) 05:20, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Google (not Google News) had more to choose from. I added links to significant coverage in the Telegraph, Vanity Fair, and PDN. Fg2 (talk) 12:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by Fg2 which seem to meet the notability guidelines. Dpmuk (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep = Notable and verifiable. Good work, Fg2!  Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 17:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete While there may be some google stories about it, the majority of those stories appear to be self/cross promotional blogs or stories given to the source to print in promotional form for the event itself. Also the fact that the article itself was written by one of the founders, even with the google results I think it should be removed. Just because you get a lot of google hits, doesn't make it notable. 216.211.255.98 (talk) 18:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability seems established by Fg2's sources. While WP:COI and WP:NPOV may apply, they are insufficient for removal&mdash;we have other template boxes for just such occasions. –  7 4   21:54, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources definitely seem to satisfy WP:N and WP:RS, article in the Telegraph signifies international significance. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 22:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
