 * Keep. Recent edit shows reference to an article in a daily, mentioning presence of a notable dignitary at the event.
 * Still doesn't make it notable. Unless, of course, Magic Johnson showing up at your house makes your house notable. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 02:56, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. If Magic Johnson showed up and an independent source reported it, it is notable. The link to an independent, verifiable and nationally accredited source is provided on the page as of this edit.

 * Merge into BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus. There is some news media coverage of the 2009 festival, but it is largely a reprint of the organizer's press release , and thus borderline independent. However, the coverage is sufficient for verifiability purposes, and the festival can be mentioned in the article on the university. Abecedare (talk) 00:21, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, Festival been cited by National Dailies The Hindu, Times of India and Robots Showcased at this festival have won the International RoboSoccer Event in USA this year Acyut. Former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam innaugrated and delivered lecture in 2009. International Performers Feeding the Fish among others drew crowds from across the nation to this event. Reference to Goa could be made as this is the largest Techical festival in this otherwise touristy region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.212.160.101 (talk)


 * Merge. The 2009 article in the Times of India is a bit thin on details, but is coverage in a reliable source. The material from The Hindu appears to be more a press release than journalism, and not good enough to rely upon. Much of the article is largely self-sourced, and should probably be removed, but the well-referenced parts can be merged into the existing section in the BITS article.
