The result was Keep. I can read Lithuanian and i found non-obvious coverage in third-party sources in Lithuanian. This article does have a POV problem, but notability is reasonable. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to establish notability. Not a significant amount on Google. Hammer1980·talk 00:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. It seems to me like the Lithuanian equivalent of Triptych (festival) which is closer to home for me (which doesn't have an article currently but that doesn't mean it's non-notable, it should be notable). Just because the sources are in Lithuanian doesn't make the article unverifiable - it means that we need someone who speaks the language to cite these sources (it is acceptable to use non-English sources for articles), bring it to the attention of Wikipedia:WikiProject Lithuania. That having been said, the coverage may not be enough in reliable sources for an article but I cannot determine this myself.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: Translating the sources won't be a problem. Yes, there is such a festival, and it's notable.--Lokyz 21:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment has anybody got the Lonely Planet or Rough Guide for the Baltic States? Any mention there? --Paularblaster 21:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am the author of this article. Being one of the organizers of Baltijos Garsas festival, I'm directly responsible for all the written material regarding the festival in Baltijos Garsas website and also in other websites where descriptions about this festival are required. I wrote this short article about Baltijos Garsas in Wikipedia purely as an original one, but since the information stated there is basic, it can look or sound similar to the information, written about this event in other websites. I definitley plan to expand this article in the very near future. Thank you for your good will. --Sodas 00:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
