Rowany Festival
Procedural nomination. Article comes across with a massive case of wikipedia being used for webhosting and does not seem to meet WP:N, and sources cited are majority self-published and do not meet WP:RS. May be worth merging into an article on the Society for Creative Anachronism in a section titled regional activities, but that's stretching it. Thewinchester (talk) 12:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete and Redirect to SCA; Google News Archive shows only one result. John Vandenberg 13:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - Delete and Redirect is not an option.--Edtropolis 15:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean - did you mean that the vote should have been "merge and redirect"? Orderinchaos 15:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:N, WP:NOT and probable WP:RS identification issues. Orderinchaos 15:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Reads as though simply copied from the Cunnan recreationist wiki -- can W~pedia support cross-wiki links ? Ifso, then redirect there; otherwise chnage article into external link and lock, to prevent re-editing. -- SockpuppetSamuelson
 * Delete. It's a fun event, been around for a long time, and there is nothing like wearing armor and shooting people with a serious hangover.... but outside the SCA the world doesn't care. No news articles - even about the hosting group Kingdom of Lochac - and nothing that can ever support an article. Clearly cannot have reliable sources as the media is not interested (outside of small press releases) - Peripitus (Talk) 11:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sadly, Delete. As none of the references cited meet WP:RS this article does not meet WP:V. While I have seen mention over the years in the press, I think it was always about SCA-type groups and I doubt it was about this particular festival.Garrie 23:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment is the USA based Pennsic War article any better?Garrie 23:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
