[edit] CIAO! Festival

CIAO! Festival (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable charitable organisation. Google for full name returns 16 results, none from independent reliable sources. [1] Google News returns only the company's annual report, and Factiva returns no results.

The article was proposed for deletion, and the page creator contested this on the talk page with a comment that for all its length does not address the real issue - the (lack of) notability of this organisation. Resurgent insurgent 08:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete barring significant cleanup, notability establishment and article renaming (isn't it better to start from scratch, aye?). Is the entity CIAO! or CIAO! Festival or CIAO! Festivals.--ZayZayEM 12:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Should be "the Childrens International Arts Organisation", abbreviated "CIAO!", methinks. The article talks about two things: the first two and last paragraphs are about the organisation, while only the middle of the article is about the "festivals" that the article is titled after.

The organisation gets only 21 ghits, using UK & US spelling. Delete—The preceding unsigned comment was added by DGG (talk • contribs).
  • Undecided. Found a bbc.co.uk link about the festival. I'm "guessing" that if bbc.co.uk takes enough interest in the festival, so should we. Undecided, though, as it's the only interesting link I could come up with through Google. —AldeBaer user:Kncyu38 22:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Very low ghits are mostly adds, a single notice in the local version of BBC does not make it notable. Jeepday 03:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete In my view simply does not meet criteria for Notability.--VS talk 07:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable enough. BBC link not enough to establish notability. Davewild 15:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - Its been running three years, I'd imagine it will get a bit more action this summer when it runs again. Some local Berkshire press clippings could add quite a bit, I'd think. Smmurphy(Talk) 03:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable, no reliable sources--Sefringle 04:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
