[edit] Importance of event

Grad Nite has the same significance as other Disney topics, first of all. If we can have articles on various defunct Disney rides like If You Had Wings, then we can have one on this.

I disagree that it reads like an advertisement. Disney would certainly not advertise that three people, of the I think it is 12 or 13 that have died at Disney parks, died at Grad Nite

It is also a good reference point for fans of bands that are booked to play Grad Nite, and who may not know what Grad Nite is.--Wehwalt 21:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I've rewritten it somewhat to eliminate the "advertisement". If it is not sufficient, please feel free to put back the tag.--Wehwalt 21:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

IMO, this is merely a marketing scheme designed to draw people and their buying power to Disney. It is by its very nature a advertising scheme of limited scope, and so I don't find it particularly encyclopedic. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 22:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
The rules on Advertising say "Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. " I don't think any of the articles that were tagged last night where POV pushing or biased. --Arwen4014 15:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree. And I rewrote the article so that it sounded less like advertising, based on my personal experience at Grad Nite last month in Florida--no, I'm not 18; I was the guest of one of the performers.--Wehwalt 16:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the article can be NPOV-ed enought to become not-advertising, but I still find the subject matter to be an unencyclopedic non-notable marketing campaign. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
That's fine. Let's see how other people weigh in.--Wehwalt 16:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Given that no one else has complaind, I will remove the tag.--Wehwalt 13:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
