Wedding of the Weddings

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Very few hits on Google for "Wedding of the Weddings", seems to be a non-notable event. Brianga 04:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Polish language is here a barrier - if you want to find some 1,000 or so hits to the event series, search Polish Google for event's Polish name "Wesele Wesel" http://www.google.pl/search?q=%22wesele+wesel%22&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:pl-PL:official


 * Comment Google hits is not a means for deletion as per WP:GHITS, The problem I have with this article though is all the sources are not in English making it impossible for me to verify the content of the article. According to Verifiability The sources should be in English, but do not have to. Also one of the sources is from the Polish Government and that would qualify it as a reliable source.

 * Comment Setting aside the search of English Google (I assume), there are two issues. First is that the event -- Wedding of the Weddings -- is just one aspect of this whole "movement". It's almost like having no article on Mothers Against Drunk Driving but having one on the M.A.D.D. annual convention. Second is that half the article -- more than half, really -- is not about the event at all, but about the problem of alcoholism in Poland and the trend toward combatting it with alcohol-free wedding receptions. I'm unconvinced this is the way to frame this topic; it feels like a WP:COATRACK. --Dhartung | Talk 05:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well it does not say that there is a source organization for this, all it says is that the Reverend put various individual Weddings into one big celebration. So your analogy to M.A.D.D. is a little off for this (As I said before if someone could read the websites it would probably clear this up). As for half the article being about alcoholism in Poland, I disagree, it seems to illustrate more the use of alcohol in polish weddings, and their alternative to it. I think the article just needs to be tagged for cleanup(preferably by someone who can read what the websites say). Gorkymalorki 06:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I did create the article in question, but it was as a proxy for an IP user at Articles for Creation.  At the time, I felt that the sources were sufficient, despite being in Polish -- especially since the Polish and German Wikipedias have articles on it.  This still seems like a notable topic to me, and though I wish we had some English-language sources, they aren't required.  Powers T 11:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:GHITS is not grounds for deletion. The problems with this article can be addressed by normal editing. If necessary, the problem sections can be moved to the talk page, leaving a stub. Dhaluza 01:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
