Tidal Impact

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I've looked for WP:RS citations for this and not done well. It might just pass WP:GNG on the basis of the psychological study made on participants by Warwick University, but I find it lacking. The sources I can find seem to be pretty much self referencing and self reverential. So I'm suggesting we delete it as a non notable, albeit large and popular, gathering. It feels to me to be like a particular annual rally for a set of classic car enthusiasts where the car is notable, not the particular event. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment -- I have no idea whether this is notable or not, but I do not see the relvance of psychological study made on participants by Warwick University or the allusions to classic cars in the nom. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In my search for references the only quasi notable on I found was the psychological study. The classic car rally reference is a simile Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * keep - per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I think you need to do better than just say it should be kept and mention a general guideline. hat about the article tells you it is notable and verifiably so? Please be precise. WP:BURDEN makes that your responsibility by implication. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 11:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment I am the one who did this page and the problem is that there is very little in the way of sources because it is an event that is planned every year by the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches. So, all of this is History that is not really written down anywhere.  But it is all accurate. I am just not sure where I can get more sources.  To delete it would be a mistake because all of this information came from the original sources.  The people who planned and created the event.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.50.212 (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Then by definition it cannot have a place here. The sources, such as they are, are all primary sources. Wikipedia does not accept facts unless they are cited in reliable sources. The sources need not be online. Paper based or broadcast media sources are acceptable, but they must be citable. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:55, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment So if I can cite this in the places that call for citation the page will stay up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.164.98.7 (talk) 14:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Also how long do I have before this page gets deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.164.98.7 (talk) 14:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * There are no guarantees. Consensus is important here. Citing WP:Reliable sources increases the probability that the article is not deleted. But cite poor or primary sources and it is likely to fail. There is very little time left. Work well and methodically, but work swiftly. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
