Trout Unlimited Chili Cook-Off

Tagged for notability since 2010, this reads like a promotional article. Orphaned, nothing reaches here anyway. Non notable IMO Gbawden (talk) 08:46, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

 * And it is quite sizable, drawing up to 7,000 festival goers per year. The consistency of the coverage and the size of the event convinces me of its marginal notability. Antrocent (&#9835;&#9836;) 02:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - The Rome News-Tribune sure did cover it! To me, its still a local event that doesn't seem worthy of a WP article. This opens us up to having cake sales with their own WP article, if the local press covers it every year. Gbawden (talk) 18:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Rome, Georgia. Topic is locally notable due to local newspaper coverage. Where is the coverage outside of Rome, Georgia? Strawberrie Fields (talk) 20:01, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect - The coverage presented above does not convince me of this event's notability. Per WP:GEOSCOPE, an event affecting a local area and reported only by the media within the immediate region may not necessarily be notable. As it appears coverage outside of the local area is nonexistent, I cannot support this event's notability. Mz7 (talk) 18:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete no coverage outside the local town newspaper, one sentence mention at best in local town Secret account 18:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. No meaningful hits (other than listings) in the major databases. There is no presumption of greater notability in the article, nevertheless sourced. All coverage appears to be local., did you find anything in non-local sources? Otherwise with the majority of coverage coming from the same source, I can't see it passing WP:N(E) in any way. If it's a major event in Rome, Georgia, ping me and I'll convert to "Redirect", but it currently isn't even mentioned once in the article. czar ♔   18:21, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seriously, y'all? Yes, the local newspaper covers the event, and, yes, this is why we (a) require multiple, independent, reliable sources to establish notability, and (b) routinely discount coverage in local media where the subject is located when we are evaluating such subjects.  And, yes, multiple articles in the same newspaper still count as only one source.  Speaking as a resident of Atlanta, Georgia and a dues-paying member of Trout Unlimited, this subject is no more notable than the annual pancake breakfast held by the Kiwanis Club, Jaycees or Rotary in a thousand towns across the United States.

 * A pancake breakfast held by the Kiwanis Club would not draw up to 7,000 attendants. Antrocent (&#9835;&#9836;) 12:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
