Stars & Stripes Festival

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have done a significant online search and, whilst there are lots of hits, all of them seem to come under WP:ROUTINE. I cannot find any sources that indicate notability for the festival, rather than as a routine, albeit successful, local festival. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 22:34, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Passes general notability guidelines, but many sources are local/regional. The article just needs a big facelift. Sources include:
 * "Stars & Stripes fest leaves Freedom Hill, heads for Oakland County" from Detroit Free Press
 * "Styx, Uncle Kracker, Seether to headline Stars & Stripes Festival" from Macomb Daily
 * "Stars & Stripes' promoters 'blown away' by festivals' success" from Royal Oak Tribune
 * "Stars & Stripes Festival moves from Freedom Hill to Novi" from The News-Herald
 * "Stars & Stripes comes to Sterling" from Sterling Heights Sentry
 * "Stars and Stripes Festival 2017, in photos" from The Daily Tribune

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep - I removed a lot of trivia, bolding, and cruft. Please add the citations before closing this discussion. Bearian (talk) 14:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
