The result was   speedy keep. I am withdrawing my nomination - good catch with the references, and especially for adding them to the article. Too often, people mention references being available, but do not add them - if I am looking at an article for deletion and find references, I will usually (subject to family and work commitments!) try to add them to the article - if not immediately, then as soon as time permits afterwards. I haven't checked the sources thoroughly, but I trust Paul Erik's judgement on this matter!  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 11:09, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Despite being 10 years old, all the references I can find are either minor mentions, press releases or not at independent and/or reliable sources.  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 06:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: In the interests of full transparency, I blocked one of the contributors to this article (User:Popmontreal) as the account is either meant to be an "official account" (which is not allowed) or is being used for promotional purposes — the account was created in April this year. This was after I had made some minor changes to the article — I then looked at the article again after blocking the user, and thought that it did not meet the criteria for inclusion, hence this AfD.

 * I removed what appeared to be a copyright violation, and then added a number of citations, just a sampling of the coverage that exists. National newspapers such as The Globe and Mail and the National Post have written in detail about the festival, as have more local sources such as La Presse, the Montreal Gazette, and the Montreal Mirror. CBC Radio now covers it regularly, and concert reviews from the festival's shows regularly appear in national music magazines Chart and Exclaim! – see the talk page as well. Keep, as the subject easily meets WP:N. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 01:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, references provided after nomination establish notability pretty convincingly.  PK  T (alk)  16:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
