[edit] Pumpkinfest (Waterford, Ontario)

This seems to be an end-run around the AfD on Pumpkinfest that closed on July 8, 2006. The result of that AfD was to merge the article into Waterford, Ontario. As you will see, the former Pumpkinfest info that was merged into the Waterford article now forms the basis of the new article now nominated for deletion. Normally, I'd say this qualifies for Speedy Deletion as a recreation of an article deleted after an AfD; however, this might fall into a loophole. If I'm wrong on the qualification for Speedy, then I "re-nominate" this article for the additional reason that this is an event of only local importance which otherwise lacks any notability or importance. That the article itself has to include an argument for notability is a sign that there is none. It would not be surprising if many small towns had such an event, but we don't need an article on each and every one of them. Not sufficiently encyclopedic. Agent 86 01:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete - there's no "seems to be" about it. This is blatant. Rklawton 01:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and also delete the pumpkinfest disamb page. Phr (talk) 02:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete lest we get every town's fest. I live in the area of this article and can think of a dozen "fests" around it. Roby0215 02:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the disamib page was created by the closing admin (Tyrenius), this page is not a speedy since according to CSD G4, "A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted as a result of a discussion in Articles for deletion or another XfD process (may be deleted.)" The page was not deleted but merged. However, this article can be deleted for creating a sepearte page for something that is notable within the scope of a city, but not notable enough for it's own article.

  • OK, maybe I've had too much sun today, but I don't exactly understand these points. It's not that I disagree, I just don't understand them. Could you explain each of these points again in simple English? Rklawton 02:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I've had about 10 hours in the sun and no sleep so I could be out of mind right now. What exactly is confusing? Yanksox 02:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I just listned to an online tech presentation, so I think I'm back up to speed again: we can't speedy it 'cause it wasn't XfD'd, just merged. It was then recreated by a user with a history of creating articles that get deleted. OK, so delete and frag makes sense. Question: is there a disambig page that needs removal, too?
