Worlds biggest lightsaber flashmob

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The event does not appear to warrant a stand-alone article. At best, this might rate a mention in the flash mob article, assuming the "world's largest" claim is verifiable. Ckatz chat spy  02:21, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:EVENT. That policy provides that for a one-off event to be notable despite the provisions of WP:NOTNEWS it requires "significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group" and/or be "a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance".  "World's biggest lightsaber flashmob" fails both criteria by a large margin. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:56, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, I cannot imagine how this one-off event would be notable. Wikipedia is not the daily news. J I P  | Talk 06:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: But fun nevertheless - The video on YouTube has 200k views. Would be nice if it didn't contain any music copyright vios and could be uploaded and included in an article on social media or star wars;-) Stephen B Streater (talk) 08:55, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Under the name "World's biggest foo event" it seems doomed to obsolescence as soon as someone else organises a bigger one next year.
 * As an article on a large flashmob at Carboot Circus, it would seem to have about as much notability as the zombie walk at its opening. As for that, a referenced mention within the Broadmead article would seem appropriate, but not a stand-alone. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:48, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Sadly delete as WP:NOTNEWS (unless this qualifies for a transwiki to Wikinews). Not sure whether an event that's only been "unoffically" described as the "largest" event of its kind would qualify for an inclusion for the flash mob article, but that can be something for the maintainers of that page to decide.

 * Speedy delete Written as barely coherent nonsense. Sounds in a way like promotion. Probably meets multiple CSD criteria. Dew Kane (talk) 04:09, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * While I agree the article should be deleted, if you're going to argue for a speedy deletion it's helpful to explain which of the criteria for speedy deletion you believe the article meets, as they are each very narrow and specific. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete unduly promotional. Not notable. Racepacket (talk) 05:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- WP:NOTNEWS. What ever it is about (and I am not sure), it is clearly an event of no permanent notability.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
