Music event with questionable notability. Dougie WII (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete. Deplorable grammar, no notability, perhaps someverifiability...this doesn't need JUST deletion, it needs a...! Oh, wait, there're no CSDs that fit this. There SHOULD be, though! Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 16:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Keep Rather than just slagging it off I've tidied it up as best I can without knowing the first thing about the festival, it certainly seems to be a notable event in the area and from the website it would seem to get a considerable attendance. Paste (talk) 18:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Keep. It's well-written and the notoriety of this festival may be lost on you but not to thousands of Minnesotans.65.41.193.45 (talk) 22:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Keep Given time the people who have attended and worked for the LogJam org will be adding information, memories, and images. The grammar can be edited. Give it time.

  • Delete: I have done a number of varied searches on Google and Google News without success. I've also visited about half of the sponsors listed at http://www.logjamfestival.com/logjam/default.asp?ID=17&PageData=223 and have not found one that mentions sponsorship of the Festival so far. I've also searched the archives of newspapers in the area (Duluth News Tribune, Duluth Budgeteer News, Business North). In the Budgeteer, there was an article from mid-2007 that mentioned three festivals in the free abstract: "WE Fest, Moondance Jam and 10,000 Lakes Festival highlight this year's busy festival season." I presume that the LogJam Festival would be mentioned in this article, but it would likely be a passing reference rather than a substantial news item. Duluth is the county seat of the county in which Winton sits, the site of the Festival; I have not found more local papers online as of yet. All in all, I recommend deletion without prejudice to re-creation should reliable sources be found to allow verifiability of the content. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete unless evidence of notability from reliable sources is provided. Terraxos (talk) 20:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete. Most of the bands are redlinks -- not a good sign. (Of course, even notable bands sometimes play at non-notable venues.) The article doesn't even mention attendance, which might be evidence for notability. If some good evidence can be found, I will change my recommendation, but right now there's nothing here to indicate it needs an article. Powers T 03:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
