[edit] Invasion (music association)

Invasion (music association) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a 'good-faith' nomination, and a good faith article. I'm concerned however that the only contributors are the organisation themselves, or the founder. I note the article says that the 2006 festival earned 1000 euros for charity - That's (I think) a little shy of £6-700, which is about the average takings for two or three bands at a decent pub in a small town. That's not much for a concert /festival at all.

I'm slightly concerned that it's 90% advertising - even if good faith - so I thought I'd bring it here, as it doesn't fit the closest WP:CORP criteria: "Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found.". I have not been able to find any reliable independent sources. Comments? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 23:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Totally non-notable. It sounds and feels more like a school project than what I'd call a "serious" event. Kudos for the people organising it and making the effort a lot of people wouldn't do, but that's not a valid reason for an article in WP. ---- WebHamster 23:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think this page should be deleted because he has obviously put in a lot of work and is trying to set up something worthwhile. To stop it because its too small smacks of pettiness - 78.16.61.240 21:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable charity presents concerts with utterly non-notable bands. It's not a matter of pettiness—Wikipedia is not for advertising, not even for worthwhile charities. Precious Roy 01:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above, and also I don't think this organization exists anymore, the official website link says Invasion cancelled. --Kudret abi^Talk 09:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
