[edit] Eeyore's Birthday Party

Non-notable festival. Wikipedia is NOT for something you made up one day at school. King of Hearts | (talk) 00:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Strongest Keep Possible. Read the references on this article -- it has been running for the last 40 years and is currently attended by thousands of people. Please follow the links and actually read before nominating -- this is a major event in Austin, and the article I have created is eminently verifiable with 3 separate links all backing up the existence of this event. How much more verifiable could it be? Additionally, I plan further additions to this article including photos from my own collection. Note, I am the original author of this article and all its text. If you can't follow all links in the references, please at least read this article from the Daily Texan, an important (college-run) Austin paper which more than verifies the existence and notability of this event.

Comment I will even quote from this article in case you don't feel like following the link: Thousands of children, parents, college students and hippies camped out at Pease Park on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Eeyore's birthday for the 42nd time since the celebration began 1963.

• Strong Keep Looks like an important community and counter-culture event to this Brit. I Google searched for a couple of random years (1974, 1978) and the festival gets a mention for each. A 40 year old festival is not something made up in school - please research your AFD nominations before making them! --kingboyk 00:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
