[edit] Fedstock

Fedstock (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I'm putting this here because the Speedy Delete was contested by the user, they added some more info to the article and then removed the speedy delete template. But still, no assertion of notability. No relevant hits on Google, except their MySpace page. No confirmed acts, only rumours of Jet headlining it Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 06:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Thats not a good enough excuse to delete it. The people behind Fedstock say its still in the early stages of organisation and that there will be one famous international act headlining but they are keeping it quiet for now for some reason. I would definetly reconsider this deletion.--116.240.169.19 (talk) 06:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment When it happens and there's a famous international act headlining and gets press coverage, it can be recreated. Kate (talk) 12:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, no reliable sources to indicate notability. A Myspace account that was created this week doesn't count. --Kinu t/c 06:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • What sources are needed? This isnt made up. Who would make up a music festival, geez.--116.240.169.19 (talk) 06:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • As indicated above and at WP:V, reliable ones. Newspapers, music magazines, etc. --Kinu t/c 06:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • At the moment, there isn't even confirmation that a notable act is performing. Wikipedia is not for "rumours" or speculation. When it gets beyond the speculation/early planning stage, the subject might be notable Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 06:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Its confirmed that there will be a major international headlining act! The act that its going to be is unknown for the moment.--116.240.169.19 (talk) 06:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Where? Not even the MySpace page mentions a "major international headlining act". Independent verification would be needed too. Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 06:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Australian Guitar Magazine! thats where it says it. its now been sourced. And what do u mean by independant verification?--116.240.169.19 (talk) 07:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Even if this can be verified, one source does not assert notability. That means it exists. Notability depends on multiple, non-trivial sources about the topic. --Kinu t/c 07:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • this is insane. no wonder wikipedia has a terrible reputation. crap that is unsoursed and false can be posted but real infomation such as this is denied existance. --116.240.169.19 (talk) 07:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Noone has said the festival doesn't exist. Quite the opposite. But that doesn't make it notable or worthy of a Wikipedia article. Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 07:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • do you think that this festival does not deserve an article?--116.240.169.19 (talk) 07:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • I am not sure to whom this is directed, but as indicated above, I personally do not. Your task: show the community why it is notable by reading the appropriate policies and guidelines (also see above) and editing the article accordingly, and they will likely agree with you. If you can do that, I would be willing to change my recommendation. --Kinu t/c 07:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • i have added 2 very reliable music magazines as sources. Both mention the infomation i provided. is more proof needed?--116.240.169.19 (talk) 07:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
    • At the moment, we are simply expected to take your word that the magazine articles actually mention the music festival. While we assume good faith, it is hard to accept that at face value, considering that the sources seemed to be added as an afterthought only after you were questioned about them. Some concrete "proof" (to use your term) needs to be provided to that effect. Likewise, a mere mention is, as indicated, simply not enough: there has to be meaningful coverage about the festival itself, not just a passing mention here and there. As I said, please take the time to review the policies and guidelines linked above, and let us know if you have any questions after doing so. --Kinu t/c 07:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • on a seperate topic. could someone help me out with the above topic on Chris Frangou? thanks!--116.240.169.19 (talk) 07:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N and WP:Crystal. The event is not yet even listed on the event guide for the Federation Square Upcoming Events page for November. Probably won't be notable even after it is held, but regardless, it certainly isn't notable at the moment. Debate (talk) 10:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete If it becomes notable after it's held it can be recreated, but currently there's nothing to indicate notability. Kate (talk) 12:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: The discussion here seems relevant. The addition of one of the titles discussed at that AfD to this article indicates that this might be part of some sort of WP:COATRACK. --Kinu t/c 18:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Not notable yet. Nsk92 (talk) 20:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Kinu. Starting to think a ban on the obvious sock of Chris funk bass (talk · contribs) is appropriate. JuJube (talk) 22:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 00:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
