Winter Festival of Lights

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

no evidence of any but local notability -- the GNews sources seem to be local.  DGG ( talk ) 16:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep coverage in the Toronto Star shows at least regional coverage, not to mention the fact that 1,000,000 visitors a year would certainly disprove any notion that this is just locally notable. Not to mention a simple google news search pulls up coverage in Pittsburgh and Buffalo as well. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:38, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep':- this appears to meet our primary notability criteria. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 18:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, but . . .  There are many sources apparent in searches such as GNews and HighBeam, sufficient to establish this as a notable event and tourist attraction. On the other hand, the current version of the article does little to provide the sort of information that would make this notability apparent.  In particular, independently sourced information about the history and significance of this festival would make a big difference. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
