Rock for Dimes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Charity music event with no properly sourced indication of notability. Article relies entirely on primary sources; there's also a possible WP:COI here, as the article's creator also created a recent, similarly poorly-sourced article about one of the bands that participated in the event (see Articles for deletion/The Shroud of Gaia), and is simultaneously quoted on that band's website as giving feedback to them on how great their performance was — and in at least one spot in this article he wrote about the event in the first person ("our national backline sponsor"). As always, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if somebody can source the article properly, but no matter how worthy the cause may be it's not entitled to keep a primary-sourced advertisement on Wikipedia just because it exists.

 * Delete. This article appears to be a brochure created by someone within the organization. Non-primary sources provided or those that I can find myself are blogs, trivial, or press releases. Might merit a sentence in the March of Dimes Canada article, but that's it. WP:NOTPROMOTION, even for a worthy cause. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 11:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
