Psychedelic Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD of a type of event that seems to be a WP:NEOLOGISM. (The PROD was also endorsed by Rising*From*Ashes). The article seems to contain a great deal of original research and trying to equate the term "Psychedelic Festival" with events such as Woodstock. A google news search provides no hits for the term. As the information is not verifiable, I recommend deletion. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 08:55, 22 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have done my best to clean up this article, and I did find one decent source using Google Scholar, "Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival" which at least substantiates the use of the term. All my other searches just yielded promotional websites for these festivals, with no third-party commentary. One of my concerns for this article is that its original author and main contributor only seems interested in promoting the subject with descriptions of how these festivals can "improve the life of the human beings all over our planet." I am worried that this article will not be able to maintain an encyclopedic tone, especially since there are so few reliable sources for it. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I applaud the above editor's efforts to find articles that I was unable to, in order to verify this info (seriously, nice detective work!). However, I share their concerns about maintaining a non-promotional tone.  In addition, I feel like this article is unlikely to grow beyond a stub.  One possible alternative is merging the article into Psychedelic experience, Psychedelic, or Psychedelic music.  I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 21:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to Psychedelic. Neologism of limited popularity; sources demonstrate that the term has been used, but do not indicate that it is notable in and of itself. Yunshui (talk) 07:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC).
 * Merge I agree with the above.SunRiddled (talk) 22:51, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable neologism. Hairhorn (talk) 17:50, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. I believe there is such a phenomenon of experience being promoted, but I'm not sure this neologism has become the accepted term. I see insufficient evidence on the page itself. The Woodstock reference seems a mere headline construction, but it could be reasonably argued an accidental coining. The sources and section will improve the target article and give some context to the subject. BusterD (talk) 14:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
