Tarang Singapore

 * – ( View AfD View log )
 * I dont think this should be deleted it is very important

Interuniversity event with no evidence of coverage from reliable sources. The only information appears to come from a primary source (an organization which sponsors the event). No third party coverage, does not appear to meet WP:GNG. PROD contested by author. Kinu t /c  10:10, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

The event is a national event held across 3 universities, the information available is not in digital form, so it is not online, however one can find plenty of videos in Youtube etc. of the event which bears testimony to the fact that the event is real. And I propose that instead of deleting the article, why not put citation needed tags. Mohit Kanwal (talk) 03:22, 30 March 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * No one is denying whether the event exists. The contention is that it isn't notable. Are there any third party reliable sources that discuss the event? Being videotaped and placed on YouTube does not provide information about the topic that can be used in the article. Also, the "citation needed" tag is for snippets of content that are possibly dubious and need sourcing. In this case, the entire article is under question as to whether its subject is an encyclopedic topic. -- Kinu t /c  06:47, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Isn't Something that is held nation-wide ought to be important? According to the contention, it would mean that the event would be notable only if it is covered by some newspaper or magazine, which is in direct opposition to the notion of an article being an encyclopedic topic. Mohit Kanwal (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Your second sentence is absolutely right... per WP:GNG, it's notable if there has been significant third party coverage in reliable sources. Per Wikipedia standards, that's what an encyclopedic topic is. -- Kinu t /c  08:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
