The result was   delete. Not huge amounts of participation here, but there hasn't been much discussion in the past... 7 days, so relisting seems silly. Everyone except the creator seems to support deletion. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Philatelic exhibition in Mersin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Event is not notable. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:31, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep :In WP, notability is more or less a subjective evaluation. The proposer may find an exebition in a remote land non notable, but as a creator I find it notable.  The exebition was held during an international sports event and its thema was Olympic games . I think this is enough to be notable. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 15:27, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete This sort of exhibition is rarely notable unless it is a really big international show. This was a side event to another occasion and the Olympics link doesn't make it notable. Notability is not subjective. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:19, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Philatelic exhibitions are very common. The American Philatelic Society lists 30 recurring exhibitions in its "World Series of Philately" alone. Simply having a thematic connection to the Olympics isn't enough to demonstrate notability. That would require significant coverage in independent, reliable sources (and, ideally, something to distinguish a given event from the hundreds of other philatelic exhibitions held each year worldwide). The Fédération Internationale de Philatélie's international shows such as Brasiliana 2013 or Philakorea 2014 (once per country per ten years, strict qualifications to enter) might clear that bar (or might be better served as a list and a general article); this does not.
