Rock'n August

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a community festival, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for events. This is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, such as its own self-published website about itself and the self-published websites of organizations that have sponsorship affiliations with it, and features no evidence whatsoever of any notability-building media coverage about it. Furthermore, even though the event's website verifies that it's still in existence today, the article is so poorly maintained that it still describes the 2010 event as upcoming and has never been updated for any year since 2010. As always, the notability test for something like this is not the ability to use its own primary source web presence as technical verification that it exists — it's the ability to show that the event has been the subject of sufficient media coverage to clear WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH on the sourcing.

I will try to see if I can find reliable sources that establish notability in the next few days. There may not be enough, we shall see-- but that it has not been updated lately is not a good argument for deletion.&#160; Discant  X  13:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. I am unable to find anything outside of routine coverage such as in event listings. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Ultimately a brief mention in St. Albert, Alberta may be all that is warranted, if at all. -- Kinu t/c 19:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
