Friendship Festival (Simcoe, Ontario) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Another possible hoax article; if real, festival does not meet notability requirements Collectonian (talk) 02:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. DMighton (talk) 04:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Obviously real, and notable per a Google news search. I've tagged the article as needing sources, as it does not have any, but there are several within the google news search which can be added to the article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep as per Rjd0060 and ghits. DoubleBlue (Talk) 15:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
• Expand, but keep. This is a sufficiently notable community fair which attracts visitors from a fairly large portion of Southwestern Ontario. Why would you think this was a possible hoax? Bearcat (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The editor who created it has made a glut of articles that are 99% false with maybe a 1% kernel of truth to them. This one was one of them and was mostly unbelievable or odd commentary. Collectonian (talk) 02:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm fully aware that he has a problematic history (this is still my favourite stunt of his), but he mainly inserts personal POV and has a weird sense of notability at times — I've never known him to post outright hoaxes. FWIW, anyway. Bearcat (talk) 04:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
