Sudbury Summerfest

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced article about a defunct event, which was created in good faith at a time when our notability standards for events were a lot looser than they are today — at the time, as long as the event existed and that fact could be verified, a presumption of notability was granted regardless of whether the article was actually reliably sourced or not. However, today we require the event to show some evidence that it's garnered media coverage that goes beyond the purely local — but this doesn't have that, as even on a deep database search I can't find any evidence that it ever got one whit of coverage beyond the city's local media. And even most of what I can find in the city's local media, apart from one article in each of the city's two newspapers about it going defunct in 2014, is routine "entertainment calendar" listings. There simply isn't the depth or breadth of coverage needed to deem this notable under contemporary standards — and because it's defunct, there's no real prospect of better sourceability emerging in the future either.
