Ottawa Ice Dragon Boat Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Semi-advertorialized article about a local event, not reliably sourced as the subject of enough media coverage to clear our notability standards for events. This is referenced to one primary source (the self-published website of the International Ice Dragon Boat Federation) and one blog entry on The Huffington Post -- but primary sources are not support for notability at all, and while the HuffPo is a permissible source, it isn't enough to magically clinch notability all by itself as the only non-primary source in play. We require considerably more than just one media source before a local event is notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 19:18, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete have actually been to this a few times in my youth and it no way is it a large scale event....was fun (drunk collage kids).....but in no way notable enough for an article.-- Moxy 🍁 21:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you're thinking of the summer one (which has a separate article at Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, but isn't very well-sourced and may need AFD consideration too). This is a new winter one which only just started two years ago. Bearcat (talk) 00:26, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
